Work in progress

[chiloquinruss]

One of our model buildings literally fell apart so here is a work in progress replacement.

That's a gallon can of paint in the lower right for size comparison.

1/8th ball nose for scribing, 1/4 end mil openings and cutout, 1/16th tapered ball nose for sintra stuff. 1/2 in ply with some 1/4 in trim, a 6 mm sintra for some details. Lots more to do but just a work in progress. Russ

Thanks Scott. These models and the smaller ones I do are why I have a shop. I've done some 3d printing and some laser stuff recently but I just my Bot! Russ

Love all of it!! Keep meaning to ask you what kind of investment to get a train started on say 3 acres?

Love to see your pics of the train too.

Thanks
Tim

Russ,

Have you changed any of the materials? Looks as if once you have all the parts cut out, it's just the process of sticking it back together. I like the details you have included.

Pretty cool, have you ever posted pictures of the entire train set up?

Here's a model station in it's finished mode


Artwork done is Aspire


Combinations of scribing, recesses, cutouts, etc.

Thanks for the comments and questions. The trains are the 'reason' I have a shop and a Bot!
