60800 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) So, over a half a year later than the last post on this topic - physical progress! Main body cad and the result modified with cab floor fresh off of the print bed, with support structure removed. Very pleased with the result so far - unfortunately due to the size of my printer's print bed (only just getting used to all the hardware and software) I have had to split the body in two and add a reinforcing tab structure. The cab is currently just construction lines so I won't show that yet as it won't make any sense; Printing the other half tonight (6 hour print time!) Cheers, 60800 Edited May 25, 2017 by 60800 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertrainz Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looks promising, when I tried to model the face cab of the 85 I remember I had 3 takes to get it somewhat decent. I'm still not all that proud of it. The existing Bachmann 85 is quite identical to the 81's shape, only difference is the bodyside with the vents. Another thing is the 81 had a sharp angle between the bottom of the body and the bodyside. But what had been much earlier said about reshaping the 86 cab is true. You would be much better off reshaping an 85 if you go that route. Hope to see more progress on this project! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
