Popular Post heppnerguy Posted September 11, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Here is my next attempt to learn the method I want to do more of. Getting my lines smaller, but I have found this method is the most difficult one, for me, that I have tried so far. Even the Eiffel Tower and the Tower clock were less stressful for me. One of the reasons I wish to learn this method is because I want to do cartoon plaques for my great grandkids for Christmas. What I learned from cutting this one is I need to increase the pattern size quite a bit. Several of the pieces really needed to be at least 50% larger because I lost of lot of the size I would normally have by having to cut on the inside of all the black lines and making the actual painted pieces really small, as a result. I drew this pattern on inscape and used a maple board I had so that it would not have fuzzies and to lessen the chance of chip out. Overall, I like it but made a few mistakes. That is part of the learning process for an old guy like me. I will wait to start the next one and give myself a break.

Dave Monk Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Awesome job Dick! Are you using all spray paint? Isn't if hard to glue the black piece on as thin as it is? heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't if hard to glue the black piece on as thin as it is? I cut it from a piece of wood 1/4 inch thick and then replaced the cutouts back into from where I cut them. Before I did that I glued an 1/8th inch backer board to the original board. All pieces are then inserted and glued to the backer board. Not sure that is the best way to do it, but I am tryin to figure all these things out. I just put a few dabs of glue in spots and we will see it that works or not for glueing the outline piece on.. I struggled with how to do that too. Probably did it incorrectly Dick heppnerguy Edited September 11, 2019 by heppnerguy Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
