Hello Steve So sadly I don't I will have to print out another one of these as there is a bit of warping and i need to make adjustments to the base mesh to allow for motors, wheels etc. I haven't de-sprued my detail print yet, which im super pleased with so can grab a picture of that if you like to show how I have supported it? And next time I do a print will grab a picture for you if that is of any use sir? Assuming it comes out ok that is ;) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my first GWR 7mm wagon printing right now, and will post it when it is cleaned up. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woko Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 Been ages since I have posted been super busy with new jobs and all that life business that seems to get in the way of Model making sadly!! Have a few things on the go at the moment Continuing to focus on the Clubs layout with the addition of this Signal Box for Smithfield's I still need to add some additional elements inside, thinking a token machine and clock on the wall, along with painting up a chap to stand inside. Kevin the electrical genius at the club is going to fit some lighting inside, and get a light for inside the stove which i have hollowed out to take a small LED Bulb. I also need to knock up some guttering to finish the exterior Besides this Brighton Inspired Signal box, I have started work on a small supporting platelayers/storage Hut to sit alongside. Still a bit of cleaning up, windows to print and fix, but would like to create a little tool rack an table inside so we can light the interior up. Early days with this! Additionally been cracking on with the L77, N7 Loco, thanks to @thegreenhowards help we have managed to get the Dapol Jinty Chassis to fit this, I now need to knock up a small pony truck to sit behind the Jinty Chassis and then see how she runs! I don't think this will be my final print will do another and see if I can clean up some of the surface detail. I already have printed all the detail parts to go with the loco so hope to show some progress later on in the year! And finally some additional printing on this Brighton full brake in early white and Umber livery which is possibly a bit ambitious , I'm going to have a crack at lining soon, so shall see how that goes! And finally been working on a few more 7mm wagons in the background, which I have to say I do enjoy knocking these up! 7mm L&YR Fish van primed in white Hopefully I can find some time to finish this lot off and more, If I can get a successful finish on the LBSC coaches would love to knock up a rake of these for the Club Layout to run alongside the GNR coaches we have that also share the Terminus You can see progress on the club layout here Cheers Rob 7 1 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woko Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 More Wagon Shenanigans! This time up on the bench ready for weathering L&Y fish van LBSC wooden underframe 5 plank open both in 7 mm Both 3d printed 12 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecitadel2 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Hi Rob, Those wagons look fantastic with a coat of paint on them. The Lanky fish van is a particular favourite of mine. I’ve one brass and two white metal versions in 4mm and rule one applies when running them on my Anglo Scottish fish train through Carlisle. I’m sure the odd one must have crept in from Furness/MCR metals. Any more progress on the sales of your .stls? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stephen good to hear from you chap :) I don't have any plans at the moment to sell my stl's I did consider it, but to be completely honest, i am super lazy when it comes to sorting all that stuff out! I love spending my time making stuff! Hence why I never started printing stuff to sell, too much of a time sync, and not what I enjoy doing if honest! I enjoy the initial test prints, seeing the model come to life! But after its done I move straight onto the next thing! Bluelightning has got a couple of my models and in @wainwright1 in 4mm but I know he is super busy at the moment, if I do sell any of my models it would be through him. But otherwise i'm really focusing on 7mm gauge at the moment, mostly to build stock up for Smithfield for exhibition next year Cheers Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woko Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 More 7mm wagon shenanigans this time I have printed and had a go at some heavier weathering on a couple of these wagons. Which has been fun, just messing about with weathering powders :) I need to finish the roof on the cattle wagon, and then these wagons will hopefully be for Smithfield the clubs exhibition layout. GE Cattle wagon, L&YR Sand wagon, and a 28FT LSWR road wagon which I quite like how this wagon has turned out and I fancy printing another, but need to model some Meat Wagons to add for loads! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6, 2023 All good now, just don't seem to have had much spare time over the last few months. On the up side, I'm unboxing the printers, so hopefully I'll be able to do some work with them soon - if I can remember how! 🤔 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woko Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 Finally an update on the 7mm LBSC Billinton's i'm building for the clubs smithfield exhibition layout I'm going to start a thread in Pre-grouping as I build these to discuss them in more detail! They have been a major pain in the backside with the dreaded banding due to suction on the FEP, so going to have to split them up into smaller components for printing... skoolboy Error really my own fault I should have done that in the first place Still have the glazing to put in, and add the third class seating, and then fix the roof on! Oh and try to see if i can find some suitable transfers for these in 7mm Third class 30ft LBSC Billinton in Umber livery 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
