This year I volunteer to take care of an abandoned memorial in my city. I’ve gotten it cleaned up, but now have a task in front of me.
A plaque that honored a WWII Marine pilot was removed from one of the memorial backings. I would like to replace it with a new one.
The memorial is not in “a good section of town”, and is almost 100% viewed from passing cars within 20 feet of the plaque.
I have access to a 60 watt epilog laser and a shopbot. The plaque is 21” high x 31 wide.
I wish it to match the adjacent plaque in color if possible. Gold with black text and graphics. I want to include a large graphic of the fallen pilot’s plane.
So what the best way for me to do this? My concerns are durability (I want to do this once) and cost (I’m paying for it).
What material am I most likely to be successful with on my first shot? Acrylic? Anodized aluminum? Corian?
Bonus points for easy to get material!
