Sneak Peak at AGD plaque

[luke]

My thoughts on leaving the number off were that they would never be made in this exact configuration again; additional runs will not be autographed by TK.

sounds good

[theGOLDENchild]

Definitely interested.

Machine is currently running the engraving pass on the prototype, cross your fingers. (tic-tock)

[TOTShadowCompany]

I know what you said but I would like to leave TSC on this run; lower right hand corner, is that cool?

Ok. You had me at hello...

[luke]

One other thing that will set it apart is it will come with the date "Sept. 2012".
I think that's enough.

OK mines done, she’s a beauty.

[TOTShadowCompany]

Ooo Ooo pics?

[luke]

It was very difficult to get a picture of the aluminum, this is the best of about 30 pictures and it sucks.

The final version will have a little more spacing on the corner lettering so it’s clearer. (Mine, TOTs and AM.org will be spaced out more, TKs will stay the same.) Other than that I made very minor adjustments that no one but me will ever notice.

TSC helped out with the graphics, he's an AO member.

Guys I've decided to clean up the line drawing further. The artwork is specifically designed for screen printing on a black surface so much of the “shading” art is unnecessary for the plaque. I removed some up front but I got to tinkering this evening and found the more I remove the better it looks.

I have also enlarged the lettering again this time on all four corners and it looks much better over all and is now more readable.

I should have a price tomorrow so I can start taking orders.

Was hoping for TK to actually autograph these with a sharpie

He did, then I machined it.

[theGOLDENchild]

Just doesn't feel the same. Maybe if he ran the machine while it was machining his autograph

So did anyone ever get their plaques anodized?

Yep.

[luke]

That looks like the prototype.

Anodizing looks great, I'm sure it wasn't easy..

[Bunny]

I believe Mario @ FX anodizing did it for me. I added the gold afterwards. I believe it was bowling ball crayon.

Something this nice deserves to be hanging somewhere prominent, next to pictures of your family.

Yep.

[wetwrks]

Yep.

Beautiful!
