Thanks for your comments Kevin.

   That’s a pretty decent rendition, although I think there’s too much gray. Also, that sign on top with the chinese character looks a bit weak. I’ve done some kanji signage myself, and I would have probably done only the bottom half of it.

It’s not Kanji, it’s Thai :P More seriously though, the writing is only four bricks wide so I had to decide where to compromise. Because I’d used the Star Wars tiles for characters on the poster I decided to mimic it on the big signs.

The Kanji you’ve got on that looks good. Does it actually say anything?

As for the grey, I was a bit worried and maybe should have mixed in some sand blue. I was trying for a steel look but perhaps went overboard.

   This pic comes from a charming little site with some steampunk-flavored flash videos and art. You should check it out, and hopefully we’ll make a steampunk convert out of you!

Cheers. I was asking after steampunk stuff this morning and that site has some neat stuff. I’ve been a steampunk convert for quite a while, it just never worked out when I tried it in Lego.

(...) It's not Thai, it's Chinese. The first character is "dian", prononce it "dien", it's the character for electricity. The second one, well, the second one, hmmmmmm, heu..... he he, ha. Ahem. Oh the MOC: beautiful! Cheers, JP. (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) You can't fool me! Thai has all those "n"-looking letters. What you should've done is do the poster up with just the letters in the ad. It says "Milk Caramel", and leaves us to wonder why a soldier would be used to advertise candy... (...) (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
