I stuck some of the shiny paper to a scrap of card and am very pleased with the effect . Its hard to capture the effect in a photograph as it looks much better for real.

Another way to get this effect woulf be to get a cheap rearview mirror replacement kit. You can find them at automotive parts stores. The are lousy for what they are made for, but would work great for this. The mirror is on thin plastic card so it warps to much to use as a mirror, but would stick on the wall of you building nicely.

I've just painted the Neon sign , it was made out of Soldering wire . Still not bright enough but should do. I photographed it with some other items ; Urinal , toilet and Mermaid statue .
I actually like the Mermaid alot more since I painted her jewelry and have worked on her base. I might not glue her into the building and use her for Pulp games as well.

Excellent idea for the solder/neon tubing! Came out a treat!

"The Neptune", eh, Dan?  Not the Mermaid?

Looking good!
