VECTOR IMAGES AND DEVELOPMENT

laser cut numbered pieces all sorted and laid out ready for glueing.  I had to number each piece by using the engraving line in illlustrator so I could piece the model together easily enough as each piece was a different size due to the tapering of the columns around the walls of the structure

3 sheets of lasercutting, around 500 pieces, $46 for the lasercut
initial illustrator file I created showing the 41 individual layers comprised of parts ( i labelled them a-h).  I had to make lots of changes to this file, and it took about 3 solid days of work to get it to the stage where I could send it off to the lasercutter.
final file to send to lasercutter. I rearranged all the individual pieces to make the job more economical
