Default Union 76 Ball

Started building a scaled down version of a Union 76 gas station sign kind of a side project. I took a plastic light fixture globe that I found at the Home Depot and traced the logo onto the ball. Then masked it off and painted it on. Eventually when I'm all done the sign will light up and rotate on a pole like the real thing. Still need to buy the gearbox and vacuum form a few parts (when I finish building the vacuum forming machine that is)
