Default Garage Art - Fun with studio plotter

Renovating the garage in our 1929 money pit.

Really nice to have a clean well lit workspace. These new T5 lamps are so bright. I get about 2000 lux, like an OR.

The RSR drawing is at full 1:1 scale.

I think its cool, wife does not but she never goes in there.

That's great!

How did you do that?

Maybe it's the perspective angle, but the RSR image looks smaller than 1:1.

Thanks,

Created the drawing and cut it on my Graphtec plotter. Had to do it in 8 parts.

It is exactly 1:1 scale. (92.5" wheelbase was reference)

Perspective is exagerated because of my superwide 18mm lens.

I just like the flying horse, looked good on old 356 racecars so why not. Its cut with low tack, matte finish german vinyl. Comes off clean when i get tired of it.

That looks simply awesome, nicely done. I would also touch up the white conduit with black where it goes over the black parts of the art, to camouflage it a little.
