Had a place that used a water jet. The final product left groves where the jet started and left a very rough edge. The time it took to clean it up was more labor entensive than just doing it myself. The laser samples I received look great, but the cost to produce one F14 stand was $13ea after shippi...

Have the customers go to their postal office. I had a package that sat at the customers postal office for two weeks until I asked him to go there and check. Sure enough it was there. They just didn't want to deliver it.
Worth a shot.

Laser cutting services

Is there any board members out there that would have contacts to laser cutting services? I have contacted several services, but the cost is too high.

I just started. I have a basic version and a deluxe one. The LED version runs for about 30 hours. Runs off 2xAA batteries with an inclosed battery case with on/off switch. I also have the F18 stand done. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4724/img7181.th.jpg http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/9035/i...

There is few out there. Cricut, Silhouette SD, Xyron wishblade, Craftwell Ecraft and the list goes on. Behind every grea...

PCOUGHRAN, I was not able to get the stands under 6". There is very little material to work with, so I came up with a different idea. Using the supports from the F series stands I can get them to the height you need. PM me if your interested. http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4703/img6916a.th.jpg htt...

If he is then I will get one made for it as well. If not I would need to find a board member that would be kind enou...

This is a new stand I am working on. My goal is to develop a stand that will work with the F18, F14, F15 and future aircraft. With all the different gear and armament configurations I think this might be a solution. Right now I am testing the durability of three different types of glue. I am also wo...

Well it's been three years, a new house, and a flood since I visited this post. I am eager to re-visit this project. The stands have three years of testing and so far so good. I dabbled with having the stands laser cut, but the edges would crack. So I will stick with cutting them myself. I had some ...
