Hello there
Live steam topic is so interesting. Thanks for all posts and useful links about the live steam.
Well back to the paper again.
I'd unrolled the frame bed of back engine. Together I tried to cut by a laser cut machine. I've found a laser cut shop not far from my place. The machine owner who designed , built and program this machine helped me a lot to cut the big boy's parts.
I asked him to calibrated his machine to match the paper model requirement precision. It was not perfect calibrated but enough for 1:25 scale of models.
This is the test page of laser cutting. The precision is good enough.

Looking good. Is it your intention to have a full laser cut kit or just parts?

I sold the Nitro and now use a Ganoo to generate funds for the laser kit. Cash is in CD wating. Have a section of wall cleared and shelf material and glass on stand by, I bit most my nails off but will wate. The continual escalation of astonishing detail is worth it.
