Michael..Chuck is just pulling your leg.  ;D

...or he's been sniffing the Silverwood too much.

Really loving this building. The faded and chipped paint is outstanding and very realistic. The sign is a good touch and adds a bit of color.

Yes, too much Silverwood in a confined space!

Thanks Rob!

Fading my brain for sure.

Here's a quick sign mock-up to judge placement/size. Posed before authentic southern scenery, nawthern Georgia I think. Deliberate cropping. ;D

Ah Chuck, the immediate thought was "thanks for the link to the the flickr shot" of some ghost town store...and then did the second take thing, so its just the model.  The sign is just right by my eye.  Big enough, and enough colou,r to add contrast to the scene, but also appropriate as the usual "poor mans" signage for this type of store...no big flashy and expensive hand painted custom signwriting would have been across the front fascade, but you know they sold coke (or pepsi).

Cheers,
Dan

Yeah it's a problem doing all the detailing on the siding and then how much do you cover up with signs?
