Those are Sexy!  And given that Plastruct no longer has their available (and most other plastic ones are really HO or larger) you could do a whole side industry just packaging and selling them.

I was thinking of selling some because what other people charge seems too high.

Then I did the math based on how bloody long these take to engrave.  Like a little 2x4" section took about 30 min.
Then I figured out I'd have to charge close to the "over priced" prices of the other hobby laser cutters...

I'll see what I can do though!

I like it!  Great design, nice to see something that is not all red brick like so many structure kits.

When I look around I see a huge number of stucco buildings yet our layouts are always just the same brick DPM's.

Got some shops and an entry door going in!  I'm really loving the detail on the window frames and doors and the engraving on the resident entrance turned out nice too.


Comments please !

Looking good!  I had a feeling (judging just by the windows) that this is not a US-prototype building.  It is amazing what types of equipment hobbyists own (or have access to). Having access to a laser cutter (and ability to design items to be cut on it) sure makes it easier for someone to build unique structures.

I only have a Alps printer (for decals), lathe, milling machine, and a mini drill press. Sort of makes me feel inferior (in the tool department).  ;)

One thing I would have done differently is that I would have scribed tile lines on the lower corner pieces, where the interlocking ends are visible.  That is an easy and quick fix, which would make a big visual difference.

I'd kill for access to a printer that could make WHITE decals!

...and silver, and gold.  :D
And I would kill for access to a laser cutter!  I don't have any specific project in mind (since I had no means of getting them cut), but it would be nice to have that option available.

PM sent.  :)
