Road Train

This is a file that was requested by Ben Smith of AB CNC Fab way down under in south Australia. I converted it from a good jpeg I found and he cut it as soon as he received the file This one is 1000mm or roughly 39". I also sent a 7' version. I'd like to do one at 10' or larger with 3 trailers.

That looks great I watch Nat Geo and they showed the long haul trucker down under some of those trucks are huge

Very nice conversion and cut. Love them long trucks, here in Idaho they can run with three trailers.

Thanks guys.
These things are HUGE. The original image had three trailers, but with this scaled to 1000mm or roughly 39", I had to preform surgery and remove the third trailer. It would not have turned out as well that size in my opinion.

When I pulled the original pic into cad to start my process I nearly fainted at the sight before me. The original pic was 8' long!!! I'd never had such luck at finding such an amazingly large, extremely high resolution image to work from. I couldn't have done as well without it. I'm ready to scale one to 10' with all three trailers as Shane suggested. This was a fun one.

Awesome work, love the vanishing perspective aspect... a little LED back lighting would kick ass on that piece.

Wow. I had to call the woman in to look at this one!!! That is awesome! Great job to Both of ya!

[ben de lappe]

Thanks everybody. I wanted to post an update. I've been tasked by another member here to draw this out with the three original trailers and scale to 1116 mm x 3000 mm or roughly 44" x 118". That allowed for a little more detail. Seems as though I got my wish.
Can't wait to see it cut.
