Submit your pic, get it cut with laser!

Here's the deal,

I'm taking an industrial lasers class and for the semester project, I want to do something with the RX-7...I'm going to cut one out of plexi and mount it in a frame and backlight it with LED's...it's going to be sweet, I promise.

Here's the problem: My RX-7 is in the garage with a flat tire and no engine. Pretty uninspiring. I did a bit of looking around in the various picture threads and didn't find one I really liked.

Here's what I need:

-High res picture of an FC.
-Stock body, clean design
-Preferred S4, but either will do.
-Single exhaust would be cool.

This is one that was posted in the other thread...car is all wrong, but I think the angle is just about perfect. Front angles will work too.


If I pick your picture, I'll cut it out of laser for you, time depending. How freaking sweet is that?

Not bad at all, that's almost perfect. Can you get me a higher res pic?

Also, the higher the contrast between the car and background, the easier it's going to be to do.

I'll play around with some of those when I get home tonight and keep this thread updated.

Your GXL is nice too. . . I actually thought they were the same car.

Renton has a nice red GXL also. (Snooped his profile)

Go here:

Then take a few frames from one of the animations, cut them in different sheets of plexi, stack them and run LEDs in a sequence to display the animation.

Definitely some awesome shots there, I'm an amatuer photographer myself and I was wondering how you got some of those to turn out. Nothing I can really use, but props for the pics!

I hate to say it but that was done on a camera, the lights in the parking garage were just making things look shitty. This any better?

It's sexy all over. My pants are really tight. It's a little too dark though.

Here's a concept photo of what I've got so far. Comments?

borring lol
need some photoshop lessons, but i suppose this is a rough template
the crap in teh background thru the windows will show up

Dont use a lasso to trace/copy and paste,
instead work in layers and use soft eraser to fade erase so you dont have jagged lines etc
