I am not sure if anyone has done a marquee quite the same
way I did.
First I removed the piece of wood from the top area where
the marquee goes. Then I went to
Ace hardware and got a piece of plexiglass cut to the size that I needed.
I had a friend design the front marquee (thanks Pete), and printed it out on
Mylar using are large format color plotter at work.
Mylar is a film paper that is kind of see through.
I printed the same thing again to double up the marquee.
I did not want to much light shining through.
My digital camera is very, very bad. I thought I would take some crap picture with it anyway just to give you an idea. You can see how with the light on, it only shines through the white spots. The picture is really bad, the light only shines through on the stars and the white trim around arcadED.
