Steel and Plastic Drums

These drums are about 6 mm high.


Most are printed on pallets as I figure that is easier to handle them. The pallet on the right has four plastic drums on it; the rest are steel.

Introduction to the Blog

 My first post was back in February - before I had even purchased a 3d printer, and it is now November and I am writing the introduction... This blog is all about my experiences for 3d printing. It is a way for me to share what I learn along the way, and to show off what I have created. Most pages are tagged Model and are about a specific model, and the prototype it is based on. Generally I try to visit the prototype, and include a couple of photos of that for comparison. I also try to learn the history of the building, which is not always easy, and record that on the page too. A lot are buildings in and around Preston, as that is where I live. Models are further divided into Building , Railway (i.e., railway-related buildings), Feature (bridges, tunnel portals, etc.), Rolling Stock , Vehicle and Clutter (smaller items) In addition, there are pages tagged How to and Prototype . If you want to know how to use Blender to make 3d models, there is an article I wrote on another s...

A Modular Viaduct (part 2)

Image
I am doing a demo at the local N Gauge Society members day on Sunday, and will be assembling my viaduct to display it. To get it ready, I have been busy painting the last two days, so more photos. I painted iron arch bridge with bright colours, and it turned out well, I think, though my painting skills are not great. The plate girder bridge I did in plain grey. Similarly the lattice bridge. I am  not so happy with his one; the proportions seem out somehow. An extended brick arch. And some filled in arches, with businesses. Again, very pleased with how these turned out.

Corfe Castle Station

Image
Corfe Castle is a small village in Dorset. The station is on the line from Wareham to Swanage, which closed in 1972, but was preserved along the Swanage end. Corfe Castle was the only intermediate station when part of the national network. It is an attractive station, with interesting rooves. I recalled that there was a plan and elevations in Railway Modeller in 1976, and managed to find it. I took a photo, used GIMP to remove distortions, then imported that into Blender. After sizing, I could them use that to get the proportions right. I visited the village in 2019, but did not make it to the station as I had the family in tow. I could just about see it from the castle though.
