Steve what a coincidence! I got one too, finished mine today, I reckon about 5 hours to finish mine over the past few days. Great fun!

I am VERY jealous. Santa didn’t bring me one of those for Crimbo.

All the best for 2012, and I hope you manage a bit more spare time in the coming year. I can’t criticise anyone for being a lazy blogger as I was away from the modelling bloggage for a year….but yours is a most interesting blog- looking forward to reading what you get up to!

Thanks Chris, a friend of mine has heard good things about Moddler as well so I will definitely investigate further.

I would highly recommend John Vehgner at http://www.moddler.com for your 3D printing needs. He has done work for me, and his machine goes down to 16 microns. You will see none of the lines or “stepping” that is found on the Shapeways parts, and they are less brittle as well. They are literally ready for paint or mould straightaway.

Cheers,

Chris Cardinal

It’s designed to fit on the Meridian MPD-18 chassis (v2) which goes under a couple of their kits as well.

Yes it really is worth a visit if you’re in the area at the right time.

Good to see you blogging about modelling again!

These are great photos, particularly the header, which is really special. The railway looks really worth a visit.

Comment on Laptops and backscenes by Iain Robinson

I’m another vote for the backscene! If nothing else, it leads the eye into the scene, although I will agree that there’s little worse than a badly painted backscene, or the old Peco ones that you saw on every layout in my far-off youth! I like the Blackhall sidings layout very much and the trees do draw the eye in, but they seem way too small compared to the figure and destroy the illusion for me. I guess if the backscene is dispensed with, then extra care might have to be taken with other things that the brain will try to latch on to for “bearings”.

This looks lovely – what sort of wheelbase would this have, and have you got a chassis lined up? Is this the body I spotted at Expo NG?
