Title: MDF etching.

Hello Leon.

Can you 'etch' on to MDF using your magic laser gizmo?

Any chance of doing stuff like this Leon?

I've got a bunch of the wagons and they're fragile but lovely.  Maybe in 10mm the buildings would be more appropriate?

They do some awesome stuff, and I'd like to add some similar items at some stage.  The trouble with things like those is that they need to be drawn out properly, and at the moment I have neither the time (nor the skills!) required.  I'm considering looking about for some CAD-style designers who could start knocking out some buildings for me.

I've send you an email several weeks ago about the possibily to make some of these.

Just tell me the final file format. ;)

If you're using something like Corel Draw, they would need to be saved as .DXF files for me to import them into the laser software?
