More Laser Cutting

 

 

I spent this afternoon cutting the rest of the big tiles and decided to go for just over 6' with 7 tiles wide - it also comes to 45" deep or so - will be a bit deeper once I've cut the edge pieces.

The pieces aren't quite exact multiples of 2" due to the laser Kerf which cuts away a small amount.

I have also started painting the hill tops ready to be flocked.  I decided that flocking over a green was better than bare MDF as it hides any missing bits and also shows the hex lines in green.

The big pieces are going to have to be sprayed green as using a brush obscures the hex lines and you need to run a knife along each of them - fine for the smaller pieces a real pain for the bigger ones.

I have to do the same after flocking as well, but that isn't quite as bad.

I have ordered more flock and will try to get the edge pieces cut next week and make a start on painting the big tiles (difficult as they have to be sprayed in the green house if raining and I can do about 3 at a time!  Also won't be able to use the greenhouse once I've put some plants in there in a week or so.)
