Hello @ all,

I just discovered this group while going down the rabbit hole of model ship building. I am currently working on a Halcon that I am re-scaling to N Scale or 1:160. I bought what I thought was a laser file for the Halcon but it turned out just to be random pages of 1:100, 1:60 and 1:48 in many different languages. Being stubborn and accepting a challenge, I currently using all three scales to build my own for laser cutting. I plan on doing historical ships and fantasy ships and maybe with time my own home brew ships.


Attached is a page that I scaled down to 1:160 and setting up for laser cutting.
I'm working with 3mm and 1.5mm Basswood at the moment.
