Off to Las Vegas........

[gerrymoore]

I've done a few 'Beatles' bits for a guy in Vegas...has has his own version of Abbey Road over there and wanted me to make a few 'special' items for him. This is a new one for me and I think it turned out quite well. It will be seen by hundreds of 1000's according to him so hopefully I might get more work....

Before anyone starts warning me about copyrights, he's bezzy friends with Ringo Starr.... so I'll let him worry about it!!......

Artistes tea cup for scale.....

Top class Gerry, you are the plasma man. How thick is the material?

You didn't get an invite to deliver it in person did you?

 

[gerrymoore]

Thanks guys...it's 2mm mild steel Gordon. This guy has a webcam on his 'crossing' so if he does put my stuff on it I'll post a link. No slim-boy, he's paying for the courier costs so I might hide in the box!!

very nice but shouldn't it be painted red?

 

[gerrymoore]

Yes....it should be a mix of red and green but he asked for gloss black.....the zebra crossing in Vegas is a mix of white, red, blue, green and black

Hi Jerry,
I've been to Vegas a few times but haven't seen any thing relating to abbey road. Is it just a recent thing and whereabouts is it.

Hi Norm......This is the live webcam..they are 8 hours behind of course.... http://abbey-road-crossing-las-vegas.click2stream.com/ They recently repainted the crossing (at 4 am in the morning!!)..must admit they are mad colours!! I think my stuff is going on there somewhere but not sure where. Place is Fremont Street and, as far as I know, it's pretty well known although I haven't been to Vegas....Yet!!! Ringo has his hand prints in concrete somewhere very near the crossing.....

Ok got it I've been on Fremont Street, you must see the roof it's something else all electronic (I was told 1.000.000 bulbs) I can well believe it.

Definatly got to go down to Freemont Street for the light display, Free show I think every hour for 5/10 mins. well worth a couple of shows at least. even from stratosphere ---too far to walk.

Plenty stuff on Freemont Street light show available on You Tube, get the bus down the strip to Downtown, getting the bus back is one street over.

Missed by a week Gerry - I just got back. Could have taken a photo for you! Mad place, but found a very good micro brewery.
