Thread: Ornate scale archive

I came across 3 at an antique store, much like these, the other day. But they were selling them for triple what they should've been. ANGRY I was!!

Beautiful scales fellas!

Make your life a little easier, download Autodesk 123d (Autodesk 123D Design). Take a couple of pictures (top, sides, obliques) and it will stick them into a 3d image that can be converted to vectors.

And Adobe Illustrator is the easiest way to raster pictures into vector.

Ok, whos got the 3D printer?? I know someone here does.

Thanks Cris.
I've been using Inkscape for a lot of my conversions, will check out 123d. Looks interesting.
Cheers.
And no 3d printers, in Orangeville at least. But I am almost finished the CNC router I've been working on as an upgrade to that little laser unit I have.
These images will make terrific projects for that little rig once done. At least that's the plan.

Best of luck with your interesting project. Can't wait to see the results.
