Howdy, I recently purchased a number really cool items from Demo's Laser-Cut Designs http://demoslasercutdesigns.blogspot.com/ (http://demoslasercutdesigns.blogspot.com/) to include letters, marquees and several buildings. I managed to finished the signs this weekend so I thought I should share a few pictures. The signs and marquees below are for several pre-war companies that are part of the Fallout universe.
Here are a few pictures of the final results, with more pictures and a walkthrough of what I did at my blog. I plan to post more pictures of the buildings as I complete them. I hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Their building kits are quite nice too.

Yes. I purchased the office, factory and set of four shops. I will post pictures of those too once I get them together. : )
-
really nice Stuff,and only 45$ Postage to my Destination :-[ :'(
-
if you have some time, you may also make your own signs... with CAD you can convert a font to a polyline, and then send it to your favourite lasercutter! ;)

very cool

Yes. P&P is always a dealbreaker when ordering from over the atlantic :?
-
Shipping is reasonable for me (not to rub it in)
I like the factory very much!
-
I also bought the four shops and the warehouse. I have the shops done. Just trying to decide if I want the awnings or not. The warehouse should be finished tonight. I'm in the US so shipping was fast and not bad. They combine on multiple items. The models themselves are well done and easy to put together. I'm definitely going to get some more.
How is the office?

Same here... cross that one off the list then. :(
-

Problem isn't just the P&P. If a parcel gets intercepted by customs, there's at least €10 extra and depending on the value that can get way more so placing a large order to cut down on the postage doesn't work either >:(
I come across lots of stuff I'd like to purchase, but when I see it has to come from the States, the euphoria disappears real fast... :'(
-
Sorry, postage is so high to your destinations. I assure you we have the same problems coming the other direction too.
-
How is the office?
It was quite easy to assemble and it looks nice. I need to get the pictures uploaded so I can post them too. Hopefully I will get that taken care of in a few days.

As they say shared pain is half the pain :?

LOL... well said.

I have one picture of the completed office building sporting one of my marquees. I hope to have more pictures I took when I was putting it together available soon.

I would have snapped one of those office blocks up for use as Mercy Hospital in a Left4Dead game but once again the postage to the UK has killed the project :'(

Yeah. It would make an qwesome Mercy Hospital. You can also combine floors from multiple kits of the same type.
With regards to shipping costs, I have exchanged email with Steven, the owner of DLCD, and he said he is trying to find a European distributor. So... if any of you know someone that might be interested, have them contact Steven via the DLCD website. Cheers.

Not sure why the shipping from US to UK is causing such an issue, many companies manage to do it very reasonably, is it the final weight of the cut items that's causing the price hike or something less clear? Nice ideas, but the with amount of lasercutting services out there, only a matter of time before something similar appears this side of the pond I expect. Russian signs for S.T.A.L.K.E.R would be a nice touch.
