Brushs Laser Cutting and 3d Printing workbench

[BrushType4]

I've been thinking about a modular type building for a while and I've previously posted pictures of my previous thoughts. I recently came across some pictures of an warehouse in Ipswich that would work as a modular build without much compromise.

So a preview of a modular wharf warehouse. I've cut out some modules but have passed those along to be painted before I remembered to take pictures so I will post some of those later.

A version of this will be on the Bury St Edmunds Model Railway Club newest exhibition 7mm layout that is currently being planned.

Hi Phil

Will there be a generic warehouse building on offer ?.

Hi Phil,

could you give us some idea of the modular dimensions as this could be the andswer to my prayer for the Club's new layout.

cheers

Mike,

I intend to put together the parts below in a module.



A couple more of larger modules


and close up....



The joins are all hidden so should make it quite straight forward to build up a big low relief building in an evening.

Hi Phil

Very impressive mate.

I can see a new portrait backdrop happening this year.

Hi Phil,

looks very good. I take it that there will be a 'matching' parapet and the 'start' of a roof?

cheers

Hi Phil,
can you give us some idea of the modular dimensions for the warehouse and also if you intend to add a part low relief roof and parapet.
I am thinking of making up something like this [see photo] particularly like the short top panel which would then allow for a flat roof.
I could use your load openings and window panels to make up something close.

Hi mate,

Fantastic picture. So much going on there.

For dims, scroll up and you'll see I've taken some pictures with a rule. Currently two widths in several styles. I'll be adding roof types too.

How much do you think would be a fair price for a section?

I think it's time for a separate Met thread. See you over there.

Been meaning to photograph a local weighbridge for you to add to your range if you want to. This is an Avery 20 ton model which has the advantage of not being dated or numbered on the casting so you won't need to produce a different version for every location. It is now in a park at the former gasworks so access is easy. The cast iron track plates at each end add a bit, as does the cast surround.







This was the road entrance to the gasworks, the coal arrived by a narrow gauge tramway so I am not sure if this was for weighing coke on the way out or additional coal supplies coming in. Let me know if you want dimensions or I could draw it up.

I've never seen cast iron track plates leading up to a bridge before! Fascinating stuff.

That would be great, especially if you drew it up!

I've not posted too much lately as I've been busy with work and catching up, hopefully I'm not too far behind now.

Anyway I've found some time to start on my prototype of a GER signal box and that is on my workbench (dining room table) just now.

Got platforms amongst other things on my workbench today.



Sandpaper to represent Tarmac.


The local pw inspector giving it the once over.

Looking great Phil, il get some pictures of Old Oak Approaches up on here for you soon

I needed canopy brackets for local GER Station Canopy that I'm doing. They really should be etched but I wanted something right away and so I thought I'd see if the laser could do anything.




Pretty close I think. Delicate, but once laminated and put into position they should be fine. I need to try Shellac? Anyone have experience of that?

 

[Compton castle]

They look very nice.

 

[BrushType4]

They look very nice.

Thanks Steve,

Needs a little tweaking but I think it's passable, especially in the short term.
