I like my TA so much...

That I made this on autoCAD, and cut it out on my school's plasmaCAM.

It's good for my first cut, right?


It seemed like a .

It's made from one square foot of 13GA sheet metal.

Re: I like my TA so much...

I made another, too...

A little bigger, and out of 11 GA.

I redesigned the tail, and the thin parts, so it'll look better.

Now I need to clean it up and powder coat it...

What color should I powder coat this one? I was thinking silver, but I'm open to whatever anyone who reads this thinks.

Re: I like my TA so much...

My car's the red, black scheme...

I don't think that'd look as cool.

If you have a red car, your bird's gonna be black;

And black won't look as cool as silver.

Re: I like my TA so much...

That would look sick; but the silver powder coat supposed to look metallic like that...

But if I really wanted to, i could cut out more.

Re: I like my TA so much...

I was also kind of thinking black with the gold trim...

But that'd be tougher to do.

Re: I like my TA so much...

I probably will, now that I think about it.

I just hope it's gonna look as good as the one in the picture.

Re: I like my TA so much...

That's a very cool project. I did something like that as a project with I first got my plasma cutter. Obviously not near as clean of cuts, but I liked the way it came out.

taonindo - post a pic of your tattoo!

Here's mine:

Re: I like my TA so much...

I'm jealous...

I'm not into tattoo's...

But if I were to get one, It'd be a second-gen bird.

In my opinion, looks better than the others.

Re: I like my TA so much...

Oh, and I forgot to say; last day of school today, if I do it, it's gonna be rattle-canned, not powder coated.
