Model Village

So I have started to make some progress on the model village, for my dads model railway, using all the buildings I designed and 3d printed, the drystone walls are also 3d printed in sections, and then set into the plaster. Usual technique of sculpted foam insulation,  with plaster of paris on top, and used for the rock cuttings! The plaster has been primed, and is now ready for the paint, and static grasses/foliage bushes. I have placed some trees where I think they work best, but no doubt this will change as I go on! So there is brick Dairy that serves a siding, a pub, which will be the Henry Arms after my nephew, then a row of worker cottages going up the hill to the road bridge, and the foreground buildings are a small farm, and barn set.

The buildings all need to be removable so lighting can be fixed inside them. So I have masked them off and plastered up to them to sit them in, I will hide any small gaps with grass, and bushes. 

I will hopefully post some more progress soon!

You mentioned in your other thread that  these were done on a Zortrax - is it  the M300?

 

Hello Monkeysarefun, no this is the M200 the first version, its quite a few years old now, I think at least 3yrs old, and im thinking of getting a new printer as I think the technology has moved on massively, especially with resin printers, but ideally im hoping Prusa bring out a larger printer this year, are you using the M300 then?

No, I've got a photon which is brilliant for details but the small print area means I'm looking for a decent FDM printer for  larger  wall sections etc.

The M300 is a bit out of my price range though..

Finally finished this up now, well this section, I could add telegraph wires to the poles, i may still do, its hard to stop detailing, as thats the most fun I find! I have also included a picture with the buildings removed as my dad wants to add lighting to the inside of these buildings! I think the trickiest thing was getting the damn chickens to stand up! And the Hare if you can spot that :)
