Highclere - 2mm Finescale

Julia,

The spokes are rally fine, but I am not sure about the translucent con rods! (Shoulda gone to specsavers!)

Lovely tank wagon Julia - very impressive result on the tank barrel as well for a 3-D print.

The tank's looking good (both of them).

Great work Julia.   Dare I ask what the conversion components are and how have you solved the issue of farish chassis bearing slop?   I assume it uses etched rods and association wheels.

Thank you guys

Hi Guy.

 

I cannot take credit for the bearings as they are the work of Alan S on behalf of the 2mmSA, it has taken a few attempts to get the dimensions of them correct but I think we have now cracked it. The coupling rods (and wheel counterbalance weights) are etched from my own artwork (and not transparant as Richard suggested!). Fingers crossed all the bits will be available through the association in time.

I'm amazed by how well the cylindrical tank has come out, especially since I know how cruel photographs can be.  I also like a little bit of 'roughness' in a model - the real things ain't that neat

Lovely work Julia. It will be nice if the bits become available. Will the tank be available from Shapeways?

Hi Don.

 

Yes, the tanks are on Shapeways but not available to the public. I have had some interest in the wagon but not enough really for me to justify making them available at the moment so its remaining a personal project for now.

 

Julia.

Count me in for Interest Julia.
