The Wolfling Project

Laser-cut victory plaque for a 40K event.

I made the plaque at TechShop, using freeware scalable graphics, Corel, and a couple of pieces of acrylic scrap.

I made about a dozen wine glasses as gifts for a Thanksgiving party. The images are from a quick Google search of "cornucopia," cleaned up in Photoshop and converted to a transparent GIF.

Wine glass, obverse. Goddess riding cornucopia.

Wine glass, reverse. A cornucopia seal marked 2009.

Cut these out of scrap acrylic yesterday. The Lamenters official design can be made from Corel Draw primitives easily. The physical product was a 1/8" thick, 1 1/2" diameter plastic pog, etched on one side.

Hope it inspires others! Next version: Chaos symbols for my Traitor Guard.

I prepped some artwork in PhotoShop and tried some photoengraving on the laser this morning.

I was able to test-burn a scrap piece of basswood, as well as two pieces of acrylic. The smoke-colored one was slightly thicker than 1/8", and required either multiple vector passes or very high power (7% speed, 88% power) to cut.

Now that I've got a TechShop membership, I'm no longer constrained by my lack of a garage and limited equipment.

Here's my first hour's work on the Epilog 45W laser cutter / engraver:

A lot of wargame add-ons are simple designs -- excellent for practice.

• Vehicle status tokens in paper (test)
• Vehicle status tokens in acrylic
• Smoke markers in acrylic
• Chaos painting and detail stencils in cardstock.
• Checkerboard stencil in cardstock.
