Paint Your Own
What would you say to a kitset kiwi or tuatara that you can paint yourself? Thanks to Abstract Design's laser cutters, you can create your own masterpiece.
Laser cut from MDF that has been primed. The pieces are held together with small bridges. Draw or paint your design, wait to dry completely, then push the pieces out and assemble your kitset.
These are a fun activity for the kids and adults, and would make a great gift for the creative person in your life.
Tips
When painting make sure to let it dry completely before separating the pieces. Some paint may have sunk down in between the laser cut pieces and may still be wet even when the top appears dry. Give it some extra time to dry so you don't smudge your artwork.
For best results, use acrylic or water based paint.
If you want good paint coverage, push pieces out of the board before you paint. Paint both sides evenly trying not to make the paint layer too thick.
