Yes Ian it did go on a bit, apart from the laser cut ply which is a commercial business and beyond most of us price wise for the machinery I thought the painting was good and well worth a look.I must admit I skipped through some of it but what a great diorama build. Nice music as well.
Thanks for the heads up John.
Jim, my thought as well but what a building! In my dreams to have a laser cutter.Hi John
Very, very effective. The laser cut ply is a bit beyond what we can do but his painting, detailng etc is all simple stuff really.

Grossly unfair Mr Benson, at the last count I've finished only 4 out of 19 have been or had any fire damage. Avery low % really, only approx 20% of my builds result in spontaneous combustion.Dear Mr Race....Aka Scorcher,
I think if you got your hands on a laser for cutting wood, it may not be in the best interest of health and safety, especially with your track record for setting stuff alight
Read on one page Coral Draw was one Pete, have no idea what that is apart from a drawing programme.A friend of mine is a volunteer with Men in Sheds - they have a CNC laser cutter in his 'shed'. Must find out what CAD software it uses.

Jpg, I think with out looking.Pete.What's the file extension John - .jpg, or something else? I've always avoided the camera manufacturers' software and just copied photos from the camera's memory to a folder on the PC.
I've been reading a bit about laser cutters - apparently you can't cut mdf or normal plywood, you need a special grade. However my local library has a "Maker Space" that has a 3D printer. That might be fun!

Hi John
When you are in the list of photos, click on the view tab, and you should get a list of options....go for large icons and you will see the thumbnail pictures again....
I feel a need to correct you there CorelDRAW isn’t CAD software, it’s a vector image editor, like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (free, so I thought I’d link to it). That is to say, it’s chiefly intended for making flat line art that can be infinitely scaled and otherwise manipulated without losing quality. It can probably do a lot more than that, and you can of course use it to make technical drawings, but it’s not CAD software that’s specifically intended to design things for manufacturing.I've used Corel Draw in the past John. It's a fairly easy CAD package.
