Put this comment on your blog Rik. It differently deserves recognition....

"Rik that is a very nice 3D printed kit. It just looks brilliant. I am trying my hardest to get Anne to agree for the very same printer....Hopefully he says."

I've now blogged the drawing and the construction of my short wheelbase Southwold van. https://riksrailway.blogspot.com/2020/12/how-i-drew-and-3d-printed-southwold.html IMG_1245.JPG I've also uploaded the drawings to Thingiverse if you fancy having a go at it yourself Rik Love it Rik...You are gett...

Let me provide an update on progress with a couple of things. Firstly the station building which is now finished: IMG_1111.jpg IMG_1110.jpg and secondly the phaeton and carriage wagon: IMG_1122.jpg IMG_1121.jpg I have finished all of the printing for the wagon, and I'm in the process of making stai...

I would like a dog Steve and possibly a couple of figures...

Hi Tom, This is how most of us do the scribing on Plasticard mate. 1. Mark 10mm lines spaced equally apart. Don't worry too much if the last one is smaller in width.

It's not for one day, I started getting them 2 weeks ago....If I unsubscribe from them, I would miss out...

Slicing, tweaking and all the other things to think about. My head is spinning, mind you it doesn't take much...

That is a flipping brilliant horse....

A case of ebay madness from another perspective..... I recently offered an item for auction, which 'sold' to a prospective buyer with a feedback score of 7 at 100%. However, when he failed to complete the transaction I looked at his feedback reports and 4 of them said he is not trustworthy, should ...

That horse is very impressive and really looks the part. :thumbright: Horses that usually pulled carts did have rough hair on their bodies Trevor. My Dad always kept it longer on their bodies, he said it helped to reduce the rubbing of the tack on the horse. His horses never had any trouble that cam...

Brilliant video again Greg. Understand about batteries, they are a bane aren't they...

Oh well, that's the winner by a mile George.....
