Looks great!

Xtian,

Can you describe which material this is?

Thickness?

I guess what I don't understand is say you order a panel using the Gravoply 2.
I understand the foil is very thin (.001"), but does the company adhere this to a piece of plexi for the panel?
Like 1/16" or 1/8"?

Just trying to wrap my brain around what the material is like.

My brain is mush, been taking pain killers for a shoulder injury. :(

Don't let that smoke out!

Here's what Kyle wrote about the material:
We are using the Gravoply Ultra ( outdoor UV rated over Grav2 and laserable ) - This material is the same thickness as Grav2 at 1/16" thick
It does not appear to be metallic foil, it just looks like a plastic sandwich, with a thin layer on top that gets etched to reveal the white layer underneath.

Attached is a photo shot thru a magnifying glass of the 50% scale model (so the details you're looking at are very fine).

my panels arrived today as well - they look OUTSTANDING

way better than what my local guy was giving me, and about 1/5 the price. I was getting ripped off!

These are rear panels for my 5W model
