After the disappointing change to pricing that hit my Shop, I thought I'd better post something positive as Shapeways isn't all bad Smile

index.php?t=getfile&id=11397&private=0

I built this diorama for a contest, the stone loader is a 3D printed model printed in FUD. The structure is made up of 0.45mm-ish thick struts. The structure is about 10cm long. The model is built to 1:160th scale.

This a picture of the real thing which I based the model upon,

Kindest Regards,

Jack

Wow, great work. Seeing stuff like this makes me want to get into model train stuff. I just know Ill never have the time at the moment though.

But yeh the model is flawless, good to see exactly how crazy you can go with the tiny details with that material.


Oh and your rocks look better than the real life ones Cool

Thanks!

I made the rocks from cork bark, the bark of the cork tree. Simple but effective! Smile

Cheers,

Jack
