    Homer, Thanks for your input again, much appreciated. You have confirmed what i thought about cutting Aluminium sheet. I did think that it might cope with something in between foil and sheet, specifically the aluminium that food trays are made of. Maybe the other option would be a light scoring cut which would then give an accurate guide for actually cutting the pieces out by more traditional methods. At work i am fortunate enough to have access to a full Autocad package, so i have been able to convert a fair few PDF's into SVG files then clean them up, rescale them and import them

    Hi Bill,

    I have managed to get hold of a Monogram 1-72nd scale Shuttle with Boosters and Tank. Its in my "queue" of future projects, but i am doing a bit of groundwork ready for when i get around to it. I am making a list of upgrades and have seen your printed items on Shapeways. I am thinking of building it as Atlantis STS-27. The parts i have been looking at are

    External Tank Intertank Area

    Replacement SSME bell 

    Shuttle OMS Engine with cover

    SRB to External Tank Connecting Rings

    SRB Aft Skirts with Separation Motors

     SRB Top Separation Motors

    Ice Frost Ramps for 1/72 scale Shuttle ET

    SRB Heatshields

    ET Tank umbilicals & cross member

    SRB tops

     

    Are all of these parts consistent with Atlantis as it was on STS-27.

     

    Cheers

    Tim

    Homer, That's brilliant info, thanks. I do have one more question, do you reckon it would cut 0.005" aluminium. if you dont mind me asking which vector graphics program do you use, i have been playing about with Inkscape a bit, purely because it was free.

    Hi Homer, I see you have a Cricut maker. Have you ever tried cutting styrene sheet with it. I was looking at these and talked to Cricut customer support trying to get some answers but got no where. Tim
