I found an error in the drawings I had (the building was 6" too wide- which proves the point of drawing up a model
indeed. Like you say though, better to find out now than just after cutting the parts.Out of interest, and if its not too rude to ask, where do you go to get parts cut out? It seems like a very accurate method for establishing good quality parts to build with, but I wasn't aware of places that would cut to order. Mind you, having said that, I wasn't aware you could actually laser cut plastikard, and that opens up a whole realm of possibilities....

just think I click a few buttons and this shed is scaled up to 1/32 into the laser and voila :laugh:

They can do some serious stuff 
Thanks for putting that link up, fair to say I'm impressed !The possibilities are vast indeed :scratch: The advantage of being able to scale up with a few clicks is excellent, although I guess one needs to bear that consideration in mind when actually doing the design. Have we got any common desires rolling stock wise... :lol:

Wow! That's absolutely amazing!
I would love to be able to make a CGI film, but I'm a bit of a twat when it comes to computer software and struggle to put two things together in Templot. Perhaps one day though, I'll manage my remake of the Ladykillers, only mine will be set somewhere around Birmingham Snow Hill, so we can see a steady procession of Castles, Kings, Halls, 28xx's, Westerns etc, etc.....

thats a nice piece of animationBuckjumper said:
Im starting to get a bit obsessed by this computer model :laugh: you never know it might save me having to build a layout!!!I have to admit the renders are really helping to fire my enthusiasm for the project.
Something else I need to think about is the season for the model as there are quite a few trees to be made.

That's a really nice baseboard shape Cynric , how long will the visible section be ?

I'm surprised that nobody produces a 4 wheel rail bus in 7mm as I would have thought it would be a popular model :scratch: , a bubble car would look nice in your diesel era scenario though
