RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted January 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 4, 2014 I bought one of TB Models 009 3D printed cheap and easy sidetank Locos. http://www.shapeways.com/shops/tebee?sort=newest§ion=009+cheap+and+easy&s=0 Its the first time I have worked with something 3D printed and after reading some info about it I gave the body a coat of Halfords plastic filler primer. I will rubdown it down next and then give it another coat of primer etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted January 6, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have given the body another file and rubdown today and the third coat of filler primer. I am quite pleased with how it looks now and I don't think i'll add anymore primer. Time to go for some colour, have to decide which?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted January 11, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2014 I decided to give the body another rubdown and coat of filler primer. I think It looks a bit better for it and I will give it a light rubdown and then a coat of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted January 13, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2014 I have given the loco another rub down and its first coat of paint. Not wanting to buy any new paint I had a look at what I had and the choice was black, Rover Russet Brown or Rover Clove Brown. I opted for the Clove brown!

RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted January 29, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2014 Haven't had much spare time of late but have given the body a second coat of the brown, painted smokebox & chimney and painted the metal work on smokebox.

RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted August 28, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2014 I can't believe how time has gone this year. Progress has been slow but I have been doing a bit lately. I acquired some dry print lining from our local model shop. They are very old being priced in old money. It wasn't until after I applied it which was bit of a struggle that I read the instructions and they said apply them on a matt surface! I think I shall apply another layer once I have varnished the loco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexible_coupling Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Some nice potential there.... the build lines on the 3D Print were a little too coarse really but with perseverence you've gotten it to come up pretty well. Looks a lot better with paint, finish and trim - the little details like whistle and window rims help a lot. What's the mechanism underneath?

The mechanism used is one of the N gauge Kato tram chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted November 14, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've been doing a little bit more to the loco.I have given the lining another covering which has made it look more solid.I have also given it a bit of a weathering.A basic backhead has been fixed in and I've started painting the cab inside.It still requires a few more details but is getting there.
