It was plain that any future modelling efforts would require extensive use of 3D printing, and to my own designs....
Most of the trains on Sarum Bridge were 3D printed models, bought from Shapeways.com from other modeller's designs, and have served their purpose well. The buildings on that layout are just simple printed paper designs wrapped around wooden shapes, with styrene L-girders and strips to provide some essential roof detail, and are not really satisfactory.
It was plain that any future modelling efforts would require extensive use of 3D printing, and to my own designs.... I have been planning to start building a new exhibition layout for over a year now, but have found it very hard to decide what to model.
I eventually settled on the Blea Moor to Ribblehead section of the famous Settle and Carlisle line, done to about 90% of true scale. This website and my model-making have been largely inactive for the last three years. Since I now have several new projects under way, it is time to bring the site back to life. The home page has been restructured as a blog, and I hope to post something of interest every one or two weeks, obviously depending on what has been happening.
The main topics to be covered in the forseeable future are: - a new T gauge exhibition layout (Blea Moor and Ribblehead), - more experiments in working linear motor roads and accessories, - my first stumbling steps into 3D printing. For now, reader comments are enabled on all posts. Let's see what happens. |
