Hi from Hampshire UK.
I have had my chinese laser for around 2 years.
I retired from work last year where I was a design engineer. We had a small desktop laser for protos and small pre-prod runs.
At home I started off making various boxes and simple models, plus cutting some small model houses for my friends to decorate.
My main interest is mechanical engineering, so I'm now working on working machinery models. I have just finished the Flying Scotsman loco along with a corridor tender, and a Pullman carriage (with LED lighting). Oversll the train is around 1100mm long. Photos attached.
They are mostly cut from 3mm birch ply, with a little 1mm card for the curved bits like the roof. Assembled, then rattle can sprayed. Coachlining and graphics engraved after painting to reveal plywood colour..
Now drawing up the Mallard class A4 loco, and Queen Victoria's jubilee saloon.
I'm looking forward to seeing what other laserers are up to, and knowing there is probably someone on here to help and advise on any problems I might have.
