RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm currently looking at options for some 4mm retaining walls and wondered if anyone on here had any experience of the KS Laser Design products? I like the option of getting a long length in one piece. https://kslaserdesigns.com/OO-scale/OO-scale-walling Thanks Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 What exactly are you asking about them? I cut my own, having bought a laser cutter to do some more authentic tunnel mouths. Mine are therefore exactly as I felt they should be for my layout. Laser cutting is as good a way as any to make walls. It is more suitable for low volume items than injection moulding or vacuum forming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushType4 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I dont think they make long lengths, they are modular in design. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I was looking at - I'm just weighing up options at the moment https://kslaserdesigns.com/OO-scale/OO-scale-walling/OO-scale-open-retaining-wall I know Lcut do a "modular" range of arches as well.

I'm interested in how easy they are to work with, how they take paint and weathering , how they look and how robust they are once in place.

MDF laser kits are very easy to paint. I recommend a spray with primer first.
