Popular Post brylonscamel Posted January 25 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 25 (edited) Full Laser! I rarely commit to using laser-cutting for every component but this commission was a good project to flex my skills. The structural components for the canopy and the brickwork benefit from the crisp accuracy of a machine cutter. I get the curved lintels to sit amongst the coursed brickwork and nice joints at the wall. Canopy brackets are also sharp, with tabs to slot into walls, valances and roof materials. Here's the initial assembly, with the main roof yet to be added .. This 7mm station is destined for a layout, based in Plymouth area, with a nod to Keyham and Laira.

I'm wanting to get a laser cutter, for buildings etc, because the results are amazing, but have no where to put it at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fortunate that we have a local business that hires time on their machines. I also try to be organised and bring materials & drawings that I have checked at home, otherwise it can be costly! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of space in Canada but none in my office, three 3d printers a spray booth etc plus the need to exhaust the smoke!!!, I get there eventually. I had found a local company, that could do them for me, some time ago, but they went out of business. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brylonscamel Posted February 29 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 29 (edited) The Farthest North Part #1 The latest commission to head out of the studio is a super-detailed version of Thurso station. My client suggested using a kit from PoPup Models as a basis for further work. We discussed it and decided on improvements to stonework, internal doors, chimneys and roof. These early images show the construction of the kit, with scribed clay added on the long side-wall, a new glazing panel for the roof and some work on the internal relief. The long side-wall drops to the ground, whereas the opposite side sits at platform level. To 'steady the ship' whilst working on the model, I made a crude platform from MDF.

Popular Post brylonscamel Posted February 29 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 29 The Farthest North Part #3 This set of images show the external structure, after construction. We are representing Thurso as it was, prior to a refit in the 1980s that saw changes to the internal layout. Externally it has changed little but the overall condition and brick tops to the chimney stacks (incuding the deteriorated stack) should suggest the mid 1970s 21 12 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
