House arrest 3d printing

Whilst "doing my bit" and staying home (actually, "social isolating" is nothing new to me being a mildly sociopathic misanthrope who frankly would happily relocate to the top of Cader Idris so long as I could still get mail delivered.  My idea of bliss would be a desert island with high speed broadband, online delivery and no neighbours...) I've been giving the Aldi 3d printer a workout ready for some serious layout building.

The second low relief factory to go on the retaining wall behind the station.  This one is a lower, flat roof construction.

The amazing self levitating factory now has signage.  Electric blue.

3d printed road surface.  I want to cover the historic part of town with MDF laser-cut cobblestone sheet which is on it's way from tatBay, and as that is just over 2mm deep, I decided to 3d print some road plates to the same depth.  I did rather over-cook the kerbstone gap, the top of the kerb is at the same height as the asphalt pavement but it looks like a tramway groove in these pictures.  Nevertheless, I think it works OK and hides the foundation gaps nicely.  I've also changed the road layout again and decided to use my 3d printed Abacus enclosed bus shelter on the upper level rather than the longer cantilever one shown earlier, which is now going in a second, low level bus layby in front of the New Civic Square.

Apart from the groove, I think I might just give the road plates a light dusting of gunk with the airbrush.

The "Citibank" has now been painted and rebranded the "AST Bank".  "AST" is the Welsh word for "bitch"...

The infill section for the Civic Centre incorporating an access ramp.  This will house the town War Memorial.  The Kibri office block will be repainted to match the two other buildings and the bare board at the front will be paved, probably with 3d printed paving of some sort.

Street level close up of the road plates, the good citizens of Wednesford are obeying their masters and socially isolating.

Abacus bus shelter, 3d printed.  No glass left intact.
