Sign from Manitowoc WI

I made this Northern Elevator artwork (above) based on a clip of video I saw on the "Mark's Model Rail Services" YouTube channel. He was talking about using vinyl letters to label his modified Suydam grain elevator kit to look like a photo from the Soo Line historical archives. That showed what looked to me like a hand painted sign. The sign had some of the flair of hand painted signs, and I thought I would try to capture it. Mark, if you're reading this, go ahead and contact me--I'd be happy to mail you a laser cut stencil or, to email you an svg file that you could use to have a decal made. 

Here is the art tightly cropped:

Here's a link to Mark's video cued to the moment in the video showing the sign (1:23).

Mark's channel is not fast-paced, but he has a lovely approach to model building that is thoughtful and resourceful.
