USMC case

I'd say backlit, or from the top with Cold Cathode.
If you go HERE you can see how lights look from different positions with the Plexi Simulator.

i do have the ability to make that a 3d etch for ya

Dude, that window came out great! Did you do that with sandpaper?

[SgtM]

Eclectios - Great resource man!

b4i7 - I'm interested. Details?

jdbnsn - I used sandpaper only. I started off with 60 grit and finished up with 400 wet. Should have taken shots of the process, but you see the time stamp on the post.. I wasn't thinking about it. What I did was took an image of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and made a black outline of it. Then, I printed that out and taped it to the back of the plexi. Next, I masked the front of the plexi, and traced the outline. I cut out the area to be sanded, and went to work.

Things are moving a lot slower on this than I originally intended. Work and life in general keep getting in the way. Top that off with looking for a house to buy, and it's tough to balance it all. Oh yeah, more good news! I've been contracting with First Energy Corporation as a Network Analyst since March. The contract was 12 months, and a possible job offer at that time. Well, they kinda jumped the gun on the offer. I accepted a permanent position on Wednesday. My first official date of employment will be July 2nd.

What a great job. fantastic. If the USN emblem wasn't so boring I might look at giving it a try. Keep up the great work.

Blasphemy!

I'm not much for symbols like that either, but that's just me, lol. Pretty good job though.

b4i7,

Uh oh, did we just find a go to guy for etching?

Do you do etching professionally? Anytime I see a CAD program I think someone has access to some really cool expensive equipment.

SgtM,

Congrats on the job.

I have become way to comfortable in my job security. I know in the real world it's always tough.
