I would pay someone to come to my house and set that up for me. :) It's awesome!

I wish I could paint my dorm :(

Great job, though! I posted in your news post, lol

I posted a news topic for the list of names i will be adding, so to help with the organization, drop a comment if you want your name up!

How do you like my new computer view?

I'm really impressed in how that turned out.

I've been lurking waiting for it and doesn't disappoint. Let's hope you don't tire of NG now.

I wouldn't ruin it with names, it looks awesome as is.

DON'T RUIN IT!

looks sick

I'd suggest you give me the bag of Skittles next to your computer.

Ok guys, regarding the names going on the wall, i thought of something brilliant today, and i want to get your opinion(s).

At first, i was thinking about putting selective user names on the wall in random spots. BUT, i thought of this. Instead of making it all random and whatever, collect the names that i'm going to add, and shape and design all of them into a pattern similar to the city in the background of the tank.

If that makes any sense to you at all, please, tell me if you approve/have another idea for the names.

I approve with that idea 100%. Brilliant.

my name please?

That's a good idea. It sounds a lot more creative then just slapping usernames in random places.

That sounds like an awesome idea Elios! Where is this thread for getting names up on the wall you speak of?

It's all on my recent news post!

Eventually i'll make a list of ALL the names going on.

Ok guys, i got a basic idea of how i'm going to write the names on the wall. Here's an MSpaint sketch of what it'll kinda look like. It's not exact, just a work on progress.

Not sure how i'm going to pull this off, but i figured i'd show you, in case you have something you'd like to add.

Do you think you could add my name to the others? :C

Seems like a good layout for the names. Creative.

Seeing how that looks you should definitely go through with it, looking at the master picture it looks empty now.

Have the most important people as the biggest definitely.

I'll give each name about the same amount of space (Maybe). Depending on the LENGTH of the name.

For instance, H-K-S will be short, but thick lettering, and speedmetalsandwhich will have long and thin lettering. Basically i just want to fit as many names as possible into a cityscape background.

If anyone can draw up a basic black/white design that i could use, bonus points for ya.

In paint, or like a signature that was scanned?

Amazing. Seriously, Slap my name somewhere. :P

Paint is fine. Eventually i'll get that projector i used again, and i'll see if i can use that for this next project.

Really, all i need is just a simple black on white drawing of something that looks like the city behind the tank.

If you could add my name, I'd be much obliged, please and thank-you.

It really depends on how thin you're going to make the names, and how you're going to put them on the wall, that being the same way you painted the tank with a stencil, or if you're gonna do it by hand. If it's gonna be done with paint, just be wary of drips and whatnot crossing over onto everybody's names.

Other then that, the way you're setting it out so far looks damn sweet.

I don't think i'll be using spray for this project. Due to the amount of detail going into this portion, like you said, i'll have to worry about paint dripping.

I was actually thinking about doing a little bit of painting, and perhaps some home made stamps. Instead of constructing numerous stencils, i'm going to try creating a collection of reusable sponge like stamps.

With this method, i can combine the right letters, pick a size, paint them over, and press it on. This would cut down on time, and i think it's a much cleaner and precise method.

Yea, Can I have my name up there also?

This is a great concept.

Elios, sub buddy! you know you wanna add my name

That's a great idea, Elios. It would really make the names mesh better with the tank. Also, thanks for adding me.

When you say 'pick a size', do you mean you're going to just cut the sponge out through the letters of the alphabet all in one size, meaning everybody's name will be equally lettered? Regardless, the sponge-stamp idea sounds sweet.

Looking slick Elios. I agree with the whole city idea - that should make it alot better looking. Keep up the good work man!

Please add me Elios!

I'll give you a fishy stick

No not exactly. I think what i'll do is make a series of letters, ranging from 3 inches tall, to less than an inch. This way, i can put some letters together for a name, and then reuse these stamps for another. Not ALL of the names are going to be the same size. That would look silly.
