troonmaroon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 OK, I've emailed the printers to ask about a price list for Matt stock so we'll see what they come back with. I even mentioned the Hannalaloolay stock just to sound like I knew what I was on about. Haha, what has my question started?! Still, worth asking as my point remains true: all your effort deserves the best of finish too. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregorski Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Here's roughly where I am so far. Bear in mind none of these letters are done yet. Although the "H" is the most complete so far. The "T" is a slighlty more historical one with a few nods to classic players and what not. This one is mainly a tribute to the supporters. I want to have a lot of flags from supporters clubs in here and as you can see, a lot of them are still blank so if you want to suggest any to include just post here. I've also lightly sketched out Craig Gordon's wonder save against the plebs. Here's a screenshot I took in photoshop of them all lined up to make up the name. Definitely a need to fill out the "E" with more objects to make it more legible but that won't be a problem. Anyway, full steam ahead this weekend. I want to have this been by next saturday.

troonmaroon Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Wow, fabulous!! Cant wait to get my copy. (incidentally, what size is it going to be?) May be too late gregorski but it might be good to share some of the football cards/ panini style photos of old players throughout a few of the letters rather than most on T and S. ps not sure about the flair fan and need to have 'them' represented at all but may just be me. Oh and last of all, do you think you'd consider doing any other(s) after all this? Perhaps the originally planned HMFC, for example? Or an 1874 version? I'm just thinking about what I might get away with putting on the wall of the living room or lounge rather than the spare bedroom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flag suggestions: Mcraes battalion. That wee laddies Rudi two stick number. The sorrow sorrow flag. Brauhaus Hearts flag. There was also a really smart one that had a thistle with a hearts badge in the middle on a maroon saltire (I think) but I think it got nicked! Anyway this looks better everytime I see it!

Devorgilla Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Good to see you've got the Dumfries Hearts flag on the S. Manchester Hearts, or at least their flag, is at Tynecastle every time as well. "Blood doesn't show .." flag for Kickback members? What about for players the national flag of their countries? i.e. a flag for every country we've had a player from? Needn't be big but would be a nod to those that can't be represented individually. Or on the E a flag for every country we've played in? Could maybe be a strip or ribbon along an edge? Sorry to nit pick but the engine in the E is still a bit odd - if you can remove the first of the two chimneys that would help. And the driving wheels could just be three all the same size. But you've caught the cab shape of "Maude" I linked to well. A subtle link to the first world war heros if it could be recognisable as that engine? The "N 673 B" on the tender would help with that. As someone said in one post this can be educational as well as decorative! Link: http://www.srpssteam...tup&cat=7&pos=2 Someone else asked about size - it's obviously long and thin for the letters. Is that just going to be on a standard size rectangular backing, to simplify framing? Or could the letters be arranged?: HEA RTS One line would probably look better, just a thought! Hope these suggestions are constructive! Can you put me down for two please? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to have the pre order link up this weekend so i could PM everybody that has made an order but I've still to hear back from theprinter on how much of a price differenc it would be to have them printed on matte instead of gloss.

Gregorski Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 OK, so this is the deal. Really sorry about this. As you all know, once the pre-order link it was my intention to PM everybody that had shown an initial interest in the illustration and had put their name down for one. I was then going to make the link public about 24 hours later. Unfortunately I've realised that I'm unable to send more than two PM's without getting blocked from doing anymore for a set period of time. This is unfortunately what has happened. Due to this, I don't think I have any other choice than to just post the link on here now. Don't worry, I'll make sure that everybody that puts their name down will get the right number that they've requested. One way or the other. http://www.etsy.com/...hop_home_active Sorry it's in dollars. It's just because I'm currently living in the US and the rest of my shop is in that currency. I'm not able to change it for one item. The price before P&P works out at 30 pounds. The current currency rate is 30.00 GBP = 46.0786USD Just so you know, the prints are still being printed and shipped from the UK. Any problems or questions, just let me know.
