Neon Titanic Poster
Rick Michaels has produced another Neon project. In this project he wanted to accent major shapes of the Titanic to make it more than just a poster. Some details: Red gas-> Neon (Ne) Blue gas -> Argon+Mercury (ArHg) Glass: 10mm clear tubing, 10mm 6500 Snow White coated tubing, 8MM clear gold tubing The water accent is clear glass filled with ArHg and the boot stripe (bottom stripe on a boat) is filled with Ne. Starting with the poster, Rick sketched out his ideas with the assistance of design software to simulate the look and feel of the final project. The next step was to create an actual size pattern for the glass. The pattern is constructed with 2 parallel lines representing the width pf the glass to be used Note: projects are bent backwards so that the final pieces present evenly to the viewer (all wiring is on the back, et c.) From there the construction of the glass pieces. In many cases it may take a few attempts to get it right (and to have extras in case of a breakage :) Examples of the ships railing and smoke stack accents below Once the glass made and processed, the next step was to construct an enclosure (aka a box) in which the poster can be mounted and contain all of the electrical elements hidden from the viewer. Example of how 2 areas work togther to create the final project – WoodShop + Neon Shop. Finally, cutting the holes in the final assembly for the glass to be mounted. Nice Work!!!!!
