Seeing a potential mapper and then having him say "I am not interested on mod work" is like meeting a beautiful girl and then noticing that she's wearing a ring.
Big big thanks to TheBlahman who is now hosting my portfolio on his server, so that i could get away from the dreaded imageshack...images are loading a lot faster now, thanks mate!

Hey, sorry i totally missed your question here, if i remember correctly the neon sign was just a model with a texture applied to it that had the
"$selfillum" 1
property added into the VMT for its material file. What this did is make the red bits glow (but not the central metal bits as they are virtually black and black doesn't illuminate noticeably). Hope i got that right and it helps :)
