    That's some imagination Try rotating the drawing 90 degrees CW and what do you see?

    Pacal the Great was buried in a tomb under the Palenque Pyramid near Chiapas, Mexico. This was carved on the stone sarcophagus lid. The drawing is of Pacal driving something resembling a fire breathing flying device of some sort. There appears to be machine gun belts in front, what appears to be cylinder heads, headers, and flames in the back. He is also looking at something intently just in front of him. Could it be a gun sight? (Or an I-Pad?)

    Just my kind of ride.

    Beats me Jay. You tell me. Those two heads near the top make more sense now, but I still don't make much sense of it even if rotated. I just thought it might make a nice carving.

    Here is another image of it.

    Yep, it worked as I thought it would. It is some work though. The offset value should have been wider. More scaling and node editing should fix that.

    Thanks Colten,

    I'm thinking of seeing if I can convert it to a two vector Vcarve version from a single vector. I think all it needs is to use the offset tool to offset two copies of each center vector. Should then be a matter of closing the two vectors at the appropriate crossings, then delete the center vector.
