Tribute to Ken Block

Post by badgerwelding67 »

I drew The Hoonicorn because I think it is an amazing piece of engineering. Ken was the top man at what he did. He could make any performance machine sing different than anyone else could. This beast is 47" wide. Diamond engraved and plasma cut on 14 gauge (2mm) Aluminium. I sanded the Ally from 220 grit up to 600 grit and then polished it with Zephyr Polishing Products. Even though I am over here in the UK we have a Zephyr Polishes Distributor in Ireland. If your gonna lead in life.... Do it from the front........ Second place is first loser

First link is the drawing, second link is The Hoonicorn

Yes buddy everything is done in Inkscape. I hand draw it all with the bezier pen. The Hoonicorn didnt take that long to draw. Once you get use to the Bezier pen and the way you can manipulate lines.

If anyone is on the fence with regards to buying a Diamond Drag engraver from https://theeasyscriber.com/, take it from me it will be one of the best investments you make for your cnc table and its certainly not that expensive when you work out what it can earn you.

Depending on how much you use it, they can last for a very long time. The level of detail you will be able to put into artworks will get you noticed more with your customers.
Adding someones name with a personal inscription is another winner
