Had to cut this memory

[heppnerguy]

Sam Custodio is one pattern maker who makes really nice patterns that are a little on the challenging lines but not too crazy, if you know what I mean. When Sam posted this pattern, it instantly opened a portal in my memory and I knew I would have to cut this pattern just for myself. This particular pattern was  more challenging to me then I thought it would be. I am nearly out of blades that I usually use but just did not have the right frame of mind to wait for my blade order to arrive, so I went ahead and cut it anyway. As a result, I found it more of a struggle to cut then I thought it was going to be. I was really unsure about the "scenicruiser" words on the side of the bus because it looked pretty delicate for the blades I was using. Sam had the top of the letters unattached but because of the blades I was using, I extended the tops of the letters so they too were touching solid wood. I cut this in 1/4 inch BB Ply and the same for the backer board. I still need to through some finish on it but that will not change things enough to repost it.  I hope this one shakes a few cob webs in the memories of others as it did in mine.
