"Coffee ?"

28,8 x 21,2cm, backer board 8mm, owl 3mm



Another gift for my sister. Thought this was going to be an easy one, but cutting, sanding and glueing those tiny little pieces was a PITA. But what the heck, it turned out really nice, now on to the next one.
yamatetsu:
"Batman"

60 x 85cm, backer board 6mm, Batman 4mm.




A4 sheet for size.




4 months on and off, 100+ hours, never again. Looks absolutely amazing, though.

"The Inspector"

21 x 14,5cm, backer board 4mm, inspector 4mm



This was a fun little scrapboard project. Looks simple enough, until you try to keep the parts and their outlines parallel while the sawblade has the tendency to just veer off the line without any apparent reason. Look at the outline of the magnifying glass, those dents are not intentional.
Battling the sawblade for hours made this a chore. Anyway, it turned out well, that's all that matters.
Zebidee:
The dents make it more authentic!
yamatetsu:
I wouldn't mind them so much if it was my own ineptitude that caused them.
Look at the top right corner of sergeant Deux-Deux's hat. See that strange gap? That was literally the first cut I made. I drilled a hole, threaded the sawblade in, aligned the blade with the outline, started sawing and the sucker immediately veered off the line. Since the blade is very sharp and the board very thin, it took a me a moment to realize it and by that time the cut was well under way. Then I had to wrestle the blade towards the line, being mindful of not overcompensating. This went on for hours. It just absolutely sucks to botch something though you're doing nothing wrong.
