They Wanted a B-17 Flying Fortress

They wanted a B-17 Flying Fortress for a center piece. I did my best to get one airborne. I designed everything in Inkscape. Still trying to keep everything to be able to flat ship to Texas with minimal gluing on site.

Here is the zip file:

I hope that wedding is coming up soon for your sake. That’s a lot of centerpieces!

We actually did cakes as centerpieces with white chocolate plaques that had the table numbers. No one had a Glowforge back then. :wink:

Great job getting it “up in the air” with acrylic.
My grandad was a top turret gunner in one of those.
My very favorite is the schematics plaque below.
Fantastic work.
