« on: December 14, 2014, 09:17:51 AM »
These bridges i designed and lasercut .The bridges are between Albertinia and Mosselbay this took me a while after visiting the site and taking many photos.
They form a part of my Riversdale station layout.

Are you happy with the quality?
The reason I ask is a friend had some laser cutting done and had rework every part. Not everything was even usable.

Hi
 Stencil is the name of the plastic used by the LASER CUTTING guys, nice and thin and durable ,does not warp etc.
I dont know the JHB area at all .
