Yes indeed, a fine result judging from the photos, crisp, accurate and identical !

Do please show the next steps 

Superb... and you can still traverse the real ones transiting between preserved and main line today ;-)

Thanks Guys for the comments

I will be adding a post as i progress this part of the build.

The footbridge will consist of 4 parts... the  gallery and roof structure will form the second part, the footbridge pillars and luggage shute the third and finally the window frames and detailing the last part. Hopefully this will alll be covered in one blog.

The CAD design was done to get the correct height for thebuild the road bridge which has its own separate post and that is still very much in progress.

Most impressed with the detail, may I ask what printer, material and software were used to produce this excellent piece.

I have stuck with Shapeways   http://www.shapeways.com as my preferred printer for 3D work but there are others around.

The material used to print these was "frosted detail" but that was chosen only because of the finish required. I initially designed just the steps and had them printed in "white strong and flexible choosing the polished variety" BUT whilst the polishing gave a fairly good smoothness it also rounded the corners to all the 90 degree surfaces so hence reverting back to "frosted detail"

A word of caution ....Some find it frustrating when they have adhered to the minimum wall criteria etc to find that their models are rejected prior to print having already passed the upload inspection process..Shapeways will not print a model if they feel it will not stand a certain amount of handling...I find this IMHO a positive for Shapeways and have had a few items rejected because whilst it met there minimum criteria in wall thickness etc it would not "in their opinion" stand the test of time..They will however notify you of the reason why your model has been rejected and give you a resolution to make it work which may be as simple as making certain parts thicker or in the case of the staircases above adding the lattice work between the handrails and stairs to strengthen the model...

The CAD package i used was turbocad because i had it .... there are once again plenty on the market and even a freebie from Shapeways..

If you think the detail on this is impressive then i urge you to take a look at their website and search model trains or even model figures ...there is a wealth of parts out there waiting to be snapped up... and if you can't find what you want have a go
