LNERGE Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I'd go with the spikes. Despite the photo most Eastern Region sleeper built chipping bins were spiked together. Again I have drawings for the concrete version. Edited September 3, 2015 by LNERGE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The junction of lintol 56 and 57 doesn't look quite right <G> I'd like to see a photo of the real one as this is a variant i've not seen before. I know of one that had no window too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrushType4 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Update finished. I'll add some plasticard hinge detail to hide the working door hinges. I may glue on slates but as this is demo model I don't think it needs it. Edited January 1, 2016 by BrushType4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushType4 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Continuing to play around with signage I tried another approach. Painted the engraved sign first, filled with white wood filler and wipe off before dry. Might need a second application of the filler but I'm pleased with how it has worked out. I'll try a lighter engrave and fill with paint on my next attempt. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted January 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2016 You know, I can see the attraction of this LASER cutter! ...and I don't see it as some-how 'cheating'. You still have to have the idea, the imagination, concept, research, design and experimentation to get the final product. Even then you still have to make it and that's no different from a kit. I just love what you have done in this thread. One thing I don't like, (and I've put some thought into trying to improve it/fix the problem), is the 'dark cuts' made into the material. This particularly shows up on the corners of brick structures where the two walls are 'interlaced' into each other. (Of course painting renders this a none problem!) What does this material 'look like' when you cut it with a :- 1/ Scalpel 2/ Craft knife 3/ Use a Dremel cutter 4/ Use a Dremel abrasive 'grinder' 3/ File it? I'm particularly interested in the 'finish' left on the work piece after the above tools have been used. (Distortion, stray fibres, etc...) Can other materials be used? (I'm sure you have mentioned this before with the resultant fumes!) Sorry for the questions. I'm just thinking of the possibilities... Again, great work here. Kev.

Barnaby Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hy Kev in answer to your "dark marks" question above. This is a by-product of the laser which when cutting generates heat and therefore causes slight burning but in most modeling situations this is easily covered when painting up your model. For this process to be profitable a balance between power of the cut and time. ie if you make less powerful cuts it will need more passes to cut through but would leave less edge darkening behind. It should be possible but the cost per piece would go up so if you're happy to pay it might be achievable. I'm sure Brushtype4 will expand and correct on this as required.

Any fibres can easily been sanded off with a fine wet and dry sandpaper. I do my best to supply kits that are dry so with the right treatment they should last for years even in a loft/garage environment. I'd recommend priming with Halfords Primer and then using your preferred paints to finish off. All the kits are supplied so they can be painted in sections and particularly the windows so those nice sharp lines are easily achieved. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HealeyMills Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I will make a few versions of a single road diesel shed including this one. IMG_0040.JPG Hi BrushType4, I've been following your work on this thread for a while and it's very impressive. I wondered if you have made any further developments with the single road shed as per your post on 15 Mar 2015? In particular the version of the shed with the corrugated covering and small amount of glazing?? Looking forward to seeing more of your great work here. Many thanks Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushType4 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Lee, It's not far from completion but is on the back burner just now as I've some customer orders to complete. I'll get back to it soon and post pictures here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrushType4 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Another update from Pete. He's almost there with the brickwork! It has done it fairly dark and with accentuated contrast so as not to lose too much colour when mortaring (hopefully!). 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
