Barm Model Productions - Where No CAD has gone before

[Javier L]

Howdy good people!

 

Its been a good while since my last post, though its understandably been a rough year all around. I figure though its time for a clean slate thread to record my modelling ventures in AutoCAD, which is taking me to interesting things I don't many would ever have expected to see as kits. 

 

While some might be familiar with my own Shapeways shop, I have been working to produce models from home to work around the moderately obnoxious price hikes. My current slate includes a number of LBSCR prototypes, along well as a small number of Early American things. Im quite happy with a few resents on this list, Ill admit ive had quite a bit of fun with the earlier era stuff! (You'll no doubt find a significant lack of pre 1930's freight cars options in HO)

 

Presently backlog calls, but I wont let this spot go cold for long... I hope

 

Peace!

Howdy all!

 

Had finished a print of some new American stock I recently finished in CAD, a pair of flatcars by a company Harlan & Hollingsworth about 1860~ish. 

 

 

 

 

A similar kit to this was once available by Alkem Kits in HO, but its been discontinued recently from what I understand.

The cars have come out okay, though a bit of wedging has occurred on the undersides of both (Either from stretched FEP film on the photon, or its a botch job in adding supports on my part). Thankfully not too severe that I’d have to trash the models, a bit of filing them flush has helped; they still need the low areas to be filled.

 

 

This has got me thinking however that I should I adjust my print settings, which I haven't really played with since I got the machine about a year ago. Perhaps someone has suggestions

 

Best

 

Javier
