That I made this on autoCAD, and cut it out on my school's plasmaCAM.

It's good for my first cut, right?


It seemed like a .

It's made from one square foot of 13GA sheet metal.

 

oh my. thats bad ***. im in autocad also and its a challenge man!!! looks awesome!!!

 

I made another, too...

A little bigger, and out of 11 GA.

I redesigned the tail, and the thin parts, so it'll look better.

Now I need to clean it up and powder coat it...

What color should I powder coat this one? I was thinking silver, but I'm open to whatever anyone who reads this thinks.

 

make it match you car!! what color is it??

 

My car's the red, black scheme...

I don't think that'd look as cool.

If you have a red car, your bird's gonna be black;

And black won't look as cool as silver.

 

Get it dipped in chrome??

 

That would look sick; but the silver powder coat supposed to look metallic like that...

But if I really wanted to, i could cut out more.

 

really whatever you decide to go with will look awesome on that

 

I was also kind of thinking black with the gold trim...

But that'd be tougher to do.

 

Smokey and the Bandit...i like it lol

 

That would look cool...

... as would this.

 

id go with the red one

 

I probably will, now that I think about it.

I just hope it's gonna look as good as the one in the picture.

 

post pictures man!!

 

the top bird looks alot like my tattoo....thats how much i like T.A.

 

That's a very cool project. I did something like that as a project with I first got my plasma cutter. Obviously not near as clean of cuts, but I liked the way it came out.

taonindo - post a pic of your tattoo!

Here's mine:

 

lol glad im not alone.

 

I'm jealous...

I'm not into tattoo's...

But if I were to get one, It'd be a second-gen bird.

In my opinion, looks better than the others.

 

Oh, and I forgot to say; last day of school today, if I do it, it's gonna be rattle-canned, not powder coated.
