I'd rethink an illuminated globe, I love the way the letter shadows project on the wallThis profile is no longer active.Comment

I don't like sites where you have to email/call them a quote...that means they are expensive as heck...I know...because I did that with a couple of other companies that offer similar services...the price I was given...almost knocked me off my feet...lol. Plus, you don't get a direct quote...a representative has to go over the order with you...lol.I agree,laser or water jetted letters would be the way to go.Looking around earlier i found this place.They say no job to small,have a variety of materials/finishes to choose from and they could do the letters exactly as pictured,dont know about the price,but this place or one like it could do the ring and letters and would definately be the way to go

I found one that gives out the prices right then and there...and discovered they were the most reasonably priced custom letters company...I'm going with them.
However...I do much appreciate the heads up...thanks for helping me out...
There's a sign/letter mom & pops store here in Oakland (they make lots of custom letters except laser cutting)...

They really specialize making these types, not laser cutting...
products & services
However...I learned that they themselves order the laser cut letter from here...

So I'll be paying for company prices but the local store's fee...no thank you, lol.Last edited by Hector; Jan 25, '12, 2:57 AM.sigpicComment

I think I like the gold globe with gold letters. I'm really excited to see your project come to life!
I'm doing a big Superman project as well. My friend moved in to a new house and came across a fake crystal chandelier which he then gave to me so I could make a Fortress of Solitude. I'm making the main room with the crystal computer thing he uses. I'm trying to figure out how to light it and also make a big Jor'El head.Comment

Yeah,i hear ya Hector,i dont dont like places like that,where you have jump through a bunch of hoops either.You're better off going locally or through LaserMego.I'm curious what you are planning for the globe.After seeing MegoScott's lighted one,which is very cool looking,i'm imagining a larger scale like you are planning,but lighted also, would be the ultimate in coolness. Heres a lighted globe i found on Ebayhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Lighted-Glob...item35b7d2c920,figure out how to paint or cover it in a translucent gold and you're done with the globe part.Then its just a matter of getting your ring and letters made in the size you need ,attaching them to the globe and Done.Just throwing some more ideas out there.I don't like sites where you have to email/call them a quote...that means they are expensive as heck...I know...because I did that with a couple of other companies that offer similar services...the price I was given...almost knocked me off my feet...lol. Plus, you don't get a direct quote...a representative has to go over the order with you...lol.
