Highclere - 2mm Finescale

Hello Missy,

 

your created van is very impressing.

 

Markus

A wonderful little model - congratulations Missy on being a leader of inspiration yet again!

 

May I ask how you produced the transfers (presuming they are transfers) for the side of the van?

Thanks guys.

They were done with some clear waterslide transfer paper from Crafty Computer Paper http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/ and an inkjet printer.

Lovely! I forget how small 2mm scale is sometimes, displaying it on a pound coin's a great idea! Nice livery choice as well, the red writing on the grey background has a lovely period feel.

That is properly impressive, and the close up photo would be tidy enough if it was some kind of 1:76 monster.. given the scale it is remarkable.

 

A reminder that I need to get back into some 3D printing adventures.. have been practising with Inventor...

Wonderful little van that Missy - fantastic job!

 

All the best,

Fantastic work as ever, Julia, and you've put me to shame by finishing it in a tenth of the time that it's taken me to get a coat of primer onto my van model!

That's a little beauty Julia, just the job for delivering the Christmas roast.

Smashing job Julia - nice to see it turn from a print into a proper van!

Surely every job is little in 2mm?

 

Just kidding!

 

A cracking van, the glazing must have been a right .

Julia, really nice, you did a great job on it, would love to be able to get my hands on a couple of them ??  

What about a Morris Commercial J4, would look great ??

I would love to know how you glazed it too!

Incredible work as always Missy!

 

Was this printed on a B9 printer?

Hello Guys

 

Thanks once again, the comments are certainly encouraging.

 

have been practising with Inventor...

 

I use Inventor (alot!). If you need any help or advice then let me know.

 

 

Julia, really nice, you did a great job on it, would love to be able to get my hands on a couple of them ??

Hmmmm, yes. There is a slight chance I could make some of these 'available', how much would you expect to pay for such a kit? As for a Morris Commercial J4, I will have to see how difficult it would be to model plus I need some scale drawings to work too.

 

 

I would love to know how you glazed it too!

 

I use something called "Micro Kristal Klear" which I got from Eileens Emporium. I apply it simply with a cocktail stick until it covers the aperture which then sets totally clear. I wouldnt use it for windows that are too big though.

 

 

Was this printed on a B9 printer?

 

Yes . The results so far have surpassed anything Shapeways have produced for me.

Julia, I am sure that you could come to a fair price for such a nice and unique model, I could see me wanting two !! have something in mind. As for the J4, I might be able to help, I will let you know.

Fantastic work as ever, Julia, and you've put me to shame by finishing it in a tenth of the time that it's taken me to get a coat of primer onto my van model!

I haven't even got that far - and I've had the bits longer than either of you!
