one of my good customers is trying to get his bosses car cut for him. this is a pic of his actual car. he wants it 5'-6' long so some internal detail is a must on a piece that large. we are trying to do it for christmas gift. thank's in advance!

how much detail is enough ?
I played for 1/2 hr to get to this may need more cleaning up but cant do any more today as I'm taking my employees for xmas lunch
hope it'll help I can do more later if needed

wow thank you! i'll run it by my customer and see what he thinks. may i ask how you do it? do you have a program or is it done manually? thank's again!!

whats the best way to turn it into a dxf? i tried using my plasmacam software but it really messed up your work.

[Alan Shirley]

I've cleaned it up a little I'm time poor at the moment on run up to Christmas, I don't think there's any drop outs you may want to clean it up for your machine.
I will share this in the share forum so everyone benefits
hope it helps you out

thank's again!! great work! how do you do it? is it done freehand or with a computer program?

[Alan Shirley]

I use corel draw and photo paint all done on computer, if you have time you can add engine definition but it was all up a 45min job to get it to this for you so I haven't put the greatest of detail and clean up

i certainly dont want to push you too hard but i'd be very grateful for anything more that you do. im having trouble when i try to import the work you did into my plasmacam. its really making your nice work all screwed up. random lines, really rough lines nothing smooth or clean. im sure its me and not your work, but just wondering if you have any suggestions as how to import it and keep it nice. maybe a different file type?
