I am learning so much about using this laser cutter and using Lightburn. Between the two and using Photoshop there isn’t anything this machine can’t do in 2D and next 3D.
I’m planning a garage for my track that I will offer in my store for slot Car fun Products. Nice thing is I’m learning how to engrave and cut both. This means I can engrave bricks, stones, shingles, roof tiles and more.
Currently I am working on a shadow box of a famous scene from a famous Ray Harryhausen movie, “The Beast from 20,000 Phantoms”.
This will have a lighted lighthouse and the whole thing will be backlit and the ocean in the background against a night sky. Box size is 11×11 with a depth of 4 inches. It will have a 3D effect and the blinking Lighthouse will be a nice touch. The Beats and the Lighthouse will be engraved and given a light paint job although it’s meant to be seen in a dark room it will have some relief and modeling if viewed in a lighten room. I’m doing tests now.
This will be the first in a series of Sci-Fi shadow boxes I will offer in the store soon. This one will be the first.
That’s all for now. Back to my learning curve.
