Don't you know you're not supposed to saw Ikea furniture up, it lets all the Swedish magic out? Nice job mate, Al. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have done Nottingham a disservice, I was anxious about going to any store of any description in any area. I wasn’t aware that cutting up Ikea furniture released all the Swedish magic, is there anyway to put it back in? Thanks Al 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then cover in pickled herring, and consume whilst lying in a bathtub at midnight when the moon is full. So I've heard... Al. 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted June 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hi Chris, I have an AnyCubic Photon (S) and I'm slowly learning how to get the best out of it. Did you see the complete signal I printed? Some problems still to get my head around but I did manage a hollow ball finial! I'd be very interested to try a print of your van body if you'd like...??? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 That's rather impressive. Would a purpose built modelling table be a Specialised Swearing Surface or something like that? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might even remove the cup will the brushes in and replace it with a swear jar, although probably not practical because it would require emptying on a regular basis Finally started to lay stuff out It’s starting to look messy already 13 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfaZagato Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Nice booth, I have one. Folds up if you need it. The vent is a lifesaver. I can just about not worry about a ventilator mask now. Almost. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’re right Would this type of wagon have had a steel or wooden floor? I only ask because I assumed it would have been steel but I found this whilst doing an image search and thought it looked quite good Edited June 29, 2020 by chuffinghell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Looking good I say. The corners of most open wagon kits are a bit dodgy. But, a tiny bit of filler and lightly round the corner with a file to represent the folded plating or reinforcements on wooden wagons and it looks better than a sharp corner. The instructions for the old Coopercraft Loco coal wagon (all steel) used to recommend doing just that. I still haven't finished the @#£%&*!!! crane yet, let alone started on the simpler one piece chassis van or Cam Rlys 2 plank. In my defence I have had a minor prang with one of the bikes (not my fault!) and I have been busy sorting that out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
