Engraving just doesn't cut it



Diego from engravers dungeon has developed an incredible technique for laser cutting that really makes their designs stand out. The colours are painted on before engraving but the secret sauce lies in the two tone style of engraving, something that they are understandably keen not to share. The whole thing is finished off with a mixture of wax and varnish to make a nice piece that I would be happy to own.
I make no bones about it, this is some high class engraving even if I am trying to be humerus.

There are lots of tank models out there but, because this comes with instructions, it is definitely a challenger for the best.

A lot of wargaming models are cut from 3mm mdf, the folks over at Laser Cut Card  have opted to use 1mm card instead. They say it gives them more options to make better details and it receives paint better, it's also lighter for shipping. The results certainly seem to agree that it's a workable material. My painting skills couldn't cope with making a finished item like this, they're pretty tearable.

The nice cuts team ran a mini workshop where they made these faux stained glass windows, laser cut from MDF. The idea is pretty simple but very effective, I imagine they would be a lot of fun to run for a group of kids. Clearly, you'd be shattered after running a workshop for the whole day but they totally smashed it.
