Serious Hardship


Full Spectrum Laser have gone all out producing this model airship. It's a great example of all the little things that laser cutters can do, especially when you have hours of dedication and some modelling skills. It's largely made of wood but they make good use of metallic plastics to highlight little details and features, the canvas balloon and flags are a nice touch too.

The photos are a little dinghy but if detailing like this makes you want to buy your own laser you should probably talk to their sails manager.

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.
