Hi everyone,

I´ve searched this Forum and the internet, but didn´t found a good pic.


What I "need":

Just a good picture of the Cooper S - sign placed on the rear of the car.

I need it, because I want to make an airbrush on my garage´s door (inside, the door from the cellar to the garage) "Cooper S Parking only".
As my babe will arrive late december (hopefully) I´m not able to take a pic myself.

So please, help me.

Have a look in the gallery of COOPERation. He's got a good S that has been pinched by others already.

Regards, ElTel

This should help

Thanks a lot, but this one isn´t exactly the thing I´m looking for.



I want the whole sign. Not only the S, but the whole Cooper S typing.

Dennis77,
I'm not quite sure after looking at the photo link above, what your looking for...

Does this help?

YESSS,

thanks a lot, COOPERation and smiffy. That´s what I´m looking for.

No I can go on making a masking sticker.

Dennis77,

If you want to see another pic of the lettering on the back of the car, have a look here.

habu,


that´s absolutely perfect.


A really nice pic. Sharp outlines, no irritating shadows and stuff like that.

Thank you a lot.

[Dennis77]

habu,

nice gallery.


P-47 Thunderbolt, isn´t it?

Do remember to show us the results when you're done!

The aircraft in the picture I think you mean is a T-6 Texan belonging to Warbird Adventures at Kissimmee, Florida.

I'm in the front of the "Marines" one in the bottom right corner of the photo

I have a one sixth share of the red and white DHC-1 that's also pictured in the gallery. Great fun

And like UCSDxBOi said, be sure to let us see the sign when you've finished making it.

It´s done.

But it isn´t as good as I would like it to be.

I´m no Airbrush artist. Normally I use it only for model making. So I can paint cars, tanks and plains. This was the first time I did something like that.

It was a "nice" work. First I had to print habu´s sign. Then I had to cut out the red filling of the S, and the free spares of the O´s, the P and the R with a cutter.
Now I had to transfer this details on the masking film.
The third step was to cut out all the Rest of the sign. Then this had to be transfered to the self-adhesive film, too.

Then I cleaned the door, and stuck the film onto it. I even had to stick all the small details into this film. At the end, everything was covered with the film, except the red S.
Now I could paint this red. While the S was drying, I cleaned the gun and made it ready for the alloy silver I wanted to use for the lettering.
As the S was completely dry, I removed the fillings of the lettering. In the S I had to adhere the small sticker, so the red S would be left after painting with the alloy silver.
Now I was ready to paint the rest.


All in all it looks not bad. It could be better, but I´m quite happy with it.

Now I´m thinking what to do next. The door itself is dark grey.
I´m thinknig of making a "Cooper S inside" sign, just like the Intel patch.
Or something like, "Cooper S parking only". Or I just paint the door white, like the wall. So there will only be left "Cooper S" on it.


As I have no Digi-Cam pics will take some time.
