I was just watching this…again…for the nth time. I had a weird question. When you’re building, painting, weathering the ship, are you building it as a model for the sign? Or as a reproduction of the characters ship? I had a thought that it’d be interesting to build it as a miniature of his ship, weathered as a full scale ship. Then do the weathering for the sign hanging in a dirty cantina in some grubby spaceport. So, two styles of weathering (2 scales). Could be cool challenge for the future.
I know you posted this a day late, but I watched it yesterday with instant cassettes

Thanks for the shout out! You don't have to mention my name... just glad you liked the name tag and you were able to use it! How about "Billy the Squid"? Lol, that's a very Star Wars-ish name. Never mind... sounded better in my head. Those LEDs always look so cool, especially with the grill. Nice work.

Yep, you bet. On the sign it reads “credits only” on the bottom right, and “no droids” on the top left. The dash and dot symbols that you see in the video are also numbers, and for those I chose dates; my wife and I’s anniversary, and her birthday.

You've skipped showing a paint layer with your masking process. This is how classic star wars paint rash and chipping is done. base coat and apply chipping with latex mask. then apply the next colour (silver for metal in the paint chip) and re apply mask in the same areas you applied the 1st mask layer then do your final coat. (three paint layers (base coat primer rust, silver and orange ) and two mask layers) then peel the mask off.
