That's amazing! Even more amazing: $149 (some kind of currency) including shipping to North America - 2 day target UPS delivery. For that size parcel?!?
That is cool, but I hope they are cutting out lots of smaller stuff in the large voids to avoid wasting a lot of metal. I can do similar art work pieces on my CNC plasma (and could fit the 30" one), but wouldn't want to waste that much metal. A 12 x 36 piece of 16ga mild steel is about $45.
2mm is 0.0787" which is thicker than 16ga that most people use for exhausts and signs, so I would not be that concerned with strength. The $149 version is the 30" (width) one, the 59" one is $319.
Both my kids are the artistic type and I have been trying to get them interested in using the CNC plasma for their art projects. The last round of birthdays I made some custom art pieces for my wife and kids.

Metric is actually 145,255 x better than the idiotic, illogical, impractical and ridiculous imperial system... I just can't for the life of me understand why people cling on to this ridiculous antiquated system... Oh welll ..
It came pretty quick, storm IAN added a few days. Was packaged well, 4 pieces of cardbord, this sandwiched between them, then all slide in a box. No chance for damage. Glad I found the discount code.
Way, way, way back when, I made several outline sketches from the Fiero (side, front, back, top, etc). I took the side outline sketch and created a 3D print out of it:
It's not as big as the metal one sold by the company discussed in this thread; it's "only" 13.2 inches wide. But it's more accurate. I'm thinking of "selling" them. You know, if you donate a certain amount to PFF, I will send you this awesome wall art. 😁
