He might explain how he drew it. Otherwise a question in the 3D printing forum on here with a photo of the RL cab might elicit some help. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trewisin Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 @Royal 42 HI Mike there are already printed Bedford RL and Mk's available from butlerprintedmodels.co.uk at very reasonable prices. I havnt seen any of their models yet but they look quite good for the price (may need a little work). scale sizes quoted 10-12 mm 1/144. numerous types available hard ans soft skin vehicle also tracked and fieldguns. good hunting.

RMweb Gold Royal42 Posted September 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Hi Ray, yes, I have 15 or so of their models; including 7 Bedford RL's. They are printed in FDM which leaves very hard layers/striations and I find it very difficult to smooth them down to a good finish; the models also have solid windows, hence why I want to print my own in smooth UV resin. I can then either use Glue 'n Glaze for the windows or print my own glazings in clear resin. cheers, Mike Edited September 25, 2021 by Royal42 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-CRS Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Following on from a thread on NGF I have taken over 2 buses from Bruce on NGF, these will hopefully be in the range from launch. I am working and adjusting them to suite my caster. I am hoping to carry on working with Bruce as he works on more models in the future.

Lariliss Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 N-scale designs for 3D printed vehicles are widely used in recent years. Started with companies who sell the ready parts or models. N-scaled for 1/160, 1/1244, 1/148. The 3D layout design format should be convertible to any software. It is possible to google the best printers for that. As the technology goes forward the prices go down. And it is possible to find recommendations and a way for existing printer amendments if it is possible for a certain printer model.

Tricky-CRS Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Please to announce the next group of models that will hopefully be ready at launch are 1960 Bedford CA (pics below). I am currently going through all the models making changes and preping the masters as requested by the resin caster, the aim is to finish this over Christmas / new year break. I need to make some changes to these to aid casting but the basics are there and look great. Edited December 12, 2021 by Tricky-CRS 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trewisin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hi Richard,I like your Bedford ca!s. they are a must for the 60!s period as there were so many of them about. I hope you managed to get your printer sorted or have you gone the whole hog and bought tour self an early Christmas presant. Look forward to seeing all your products on the market. Happy holidays.

They're not bad but not quite sure about their size - I'll need to check. I've also reordered some of the CMAC/Morris vehicles including the Cortina Mk5 and Sweeney Granada Mk1. I did order some before but the system seemed to fall over and Shapeways cancelled the order. Hopefully, it'll go through okay this time but the issues will be the effect of Covid on international deliveries and the fact that the courier they use can't seem to find my address and always delivers it elsewhere.

grahame Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 They do seem rather small. And while I've not measured them I've taken some hasty (hence poor quality) snaps in comparison with other N gauge Trannies. The green one is R Parker and the fawn one is RailNscale. I suspect the Replitek one is 1:160 scale (or maybe 2mm scale) instead of 1:148 scale. But I do like the fine steering wheel and wing mirrors: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
