My very first 3D printing arrived, and I'm very excited!
It's the SBB L6 I mentioned earlier:
The coin is 17.2mm (0.68 inches) in diameter.

Great! Please post pictures of the finished model. I am very curious how they look!

Looks great ! I guess the rivets will only show up once the model is painted.

No, they didn't get printed.
After taking the photograph, I cleaned one of the models with acetone and it turned out that there are no rivets at all.

After removing the wax with acetone and adding a thin layer of primer:
As you can see on the last picture, there are vertical lines which shouldn't be. The other model was printed correctly.

The project is still alive!
I have now modeled the lower part of the model
(I won't print the wheels! These are just for size reference).
Next is painting and then finding someone who can print the markings.
(New username as we can't log in using twitter anymore)
Edit: I guess this would rather belong in the WIP forum...
