A certain 30th Anniversary is coming up, involving a certain sleazy hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia . . . its rooftop sign now something of an infamous symbol of what happened 3 October, 1993.

I’m preparing a game recreating a small part of Operation Gothic Serpent and “Blackhawk Down” – and so threw this together this evening.

First, sketch out the lettering on the back of some cereal box cardboard.
Olympic 01

 

Cut some pine sticks for the framing.

Olympic 02

 

Assemble the framing.

Olympic 04

 

Cut out the letters and spray the back.

Olympic 05

 

Mount the letters to the framing.  It ain’t Hollywood, baby!

Olympic 06

 

Finished product, with an (ahem) “unrelated” mini-bird gunship.

Olympic 07
