    Default '48 Ford pick up.

    Dear SWMBO is having lots of fun with her laser cutter.
    Recently bought a job lot of patterns from USA for a crazy cheap price,

    this was my birthday present.'48 ford.jpg

    by the time its assembled its about 400mm long, still deciding weather to leave natural or paint.

    I am guessing for chrissy the '56 pick up will arrive

    ps - You may even be able to sell some kits once you’ve done a photo logo on them!

    Being that the material is MDF, yes you could paint it or colour stain it.

    well there are idiots all around us, this has been finished for a couple of weeks nowF100c.jpgF100a.jpgF100b.jpg

    learnt a lot, while laser cutters are amazing bits of work, nothing is easy, there are a few blemishes (globs of glue cause some pieces slipped in rather than pushed/forced into place. Its 45 cm long

    In a rash wine induced moment I announced I would do another this time sanded and painted.

    What the 'ell was I thinking.
    Wife is now on the bandwagon assembling a 1910 T ford.

    I don't know why but it reminds me of leather crafts, the colors and stitching.

    Actually we purchased a packet (?) of plans all done in JPEG and about 5 other programs. So there was no programming, hell if I stuff up the computer its a 8 hour drive to daughters place, well I could get it done locally but then Id miss the grandies.
    We got these from a US business that would buy them from programmers and then on sell them. The company decide to sell off all their 'stock' in bulk lots. There are over 100-150 plans all together ferris wheel over 600mm tall down to thumbnail star wars characters.
