Title: Thoughts and/or suggestions on my new marquee
Post by: Lakersfan on July 19, 2007, 09:15:36 pm

The wife and I made this marquee based off the grid marquees that they have at mamemarquees.com. We liked the idea, but weren't crazy about some of the characters. So we made our own based off of a ton of ideas we found at this site. :) Please let us know any thoughts or suggestions you have...

As a side note, the retainers are top and bottom only.

Thanks!!

Looks really nice, I like the way the characters seem to belong, the way they interact with the wording or look like they are standing on the grid.

Also... Congratulations on having a wife who appreciates this hobby enough to design the marquee with you, consider yourself lucky, most of us are happy enough to have our wives tolerate our cabinets, some have wives who empower us by pointing out cabs or parts, and the luckiest have wives who play and build with us.  ( I think I'm somewhere between the first two.)

On the other hand some people may argue that the luckiest of us don't have any of the above.  I however know I would rather have a tolerant wife than none at all.

Thanks for the kind words. I am a lucky guy. She's not really in to working on the cabinet itself, but she helps where she can (usually the creative side of things ;))
The marquee was something we had fun doing together.
