Where can I find free building and structure plans for my laser cutter in o27 scale?

I've never seen free plans/artwork that can be downloaded and used.
I have created artwork for a number of structures in O and HO and the amount of work that goes into the art it would be hard to give it away. The art is also very customized to the material you are using. The art has to take into consideration the thickness and if there is an orientation to the material. LOTS of variables to deal with.
Also varies with the laser table size....what type do you have??
I have a spectrum laser 12 x 20 40 watt

I build rc airplane short kits and they all have to be run through Illustrator and Corel draw befor it ever hits the laser.

If you know CorelDraw and have a laser table....then all you need is time to create your own 'kits'. And if you a familiar with the engineering needed for plane kits....buildings should be easy.....just a different subject matter!
Dave is correct here....you need to put the time into it since you have put the money into the cutter. As I said from your email to me, my buildings are my design and I don't have any specific plans for free I can give to you....but.....since you have design experience, you should be able to whip together something you can use on the cutter....
