The wagons I've been printing recently have been in the cheapest material, hence not a great surface finish. The more expensive resin works much better, but is exponentially more expensive so is really suited to small items like the <a href="http://caffeine-train.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/just-because-i-could.html" rel="nofollow">TPWS grids</a> or <a href="http://caffeine-train.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/fencing-from-just-metre.html" rel="nofollow">Fence Posts</a> I printed.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-28676768698745508742013-02-18T18:11:37.568+00:002013-02-18T18:11:37.568+00:00I really love that station footbridge Adrian....

I'll draw stuff if you let me know what stuff. Tubs are easy but it would be a waste measuring a bronze statue. I'll get some photos and dimensions of a real one. It could be a while....Colliery tubs are two a penny in your neck of the woods. Hermatite and Gallena tubs will be smaller. They were all pulled by boys or ponies.<br />I have always been amazed by model engineers. I used to go to an exhibition in London....stunning to see an eighth scale Merlin engine that would run.<br />They are now printing bits in metal. Finish looks great on the jet car bits. Finish is a problem to me on your prints....can the machine be set to fine? It will come, grain is almost a thing of the past in photography.<br /> ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-85321982566048425952013-02-18T15:23:00.876+00:002013-02-18T15:23:00.876+00:00Sounds like a good plan (both this statue and Lead...Sounds like a good plan (both this statue and Leadhills).

I'll use a 100mm so no distortion. It is only a big model though. When I get to Scotland I'll go to Leadhills they have real ones there.<br />The Bridge would be best made from strip brass soldered. It is a perfect structure. Would grace any station layout.<br />Not as sharp as they could be are the Tree Creeper.
