Brushs Laser Cutting and 3d Printing workbench

[BrushType4]

I thought card was too thin, so a combination of 1mm MDF and card has created this. It scales out at 2" thick which is very close to prototype.

I'm pleased with this.

The prototype.

Shellac ?. My mrs had that on her nails for our holiday. I know because she must've told me a hundred times that her nails looked brilliant even after 2 weeks of sea & pool water.

Thanks mate. Have you done anything with those grills I sent you yet?

Shellac, same stuff my wife goes on about then !!

Only Shellac I know is the melted stuff in the bottom of our 350Kw motors often accompanied by copious amounts of fried ozone.

Super canopy bracket BTW

Shellac is also used for sealing knots on timber before priming. White shellac or knotting is made by the likes of Coloron etc.

There was a guy, back in my S4 days, that made coach bodies from paper or thin card and coated them with shellac. The beading was also cut from paper and stuck on with more shellac and meths.

Shellac is good stuff, I still use it for odd bits of modelling in card.
Might I recommend Liberon Blonde Dewaxed Shellac Flakes for a good raw shellac. Dissolve in meths; the normal purple stuff is fine if you're going to over-paint it. I'd have a go at treating the material before cutting - Cynric did some test pieces for me on his laser cutter and the card came out very crisply indeed. I suspect you may need to leave for a good while for the material to completely dry, but a couple of days would seem to do it.

Look for a topic by MJT over there - he is building a 4mm, multi-layered, card kit for a GNR carriage and using shellac to protect/prime the card... and as a base for teaking the sides.

This one in fact - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/in...r-composite-brake-dia-189/page-3#entry1948803

That's Mike Trice of the MJT components fame. A lovely job he's making of it too.

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.

I've got one for you, Phil.



As a future project. & I do mean future. I do like the boarded up version too.

Projects are slowly getting towards completion in time for Telford (I hope!) Here is a couple of preview pictures of the Westbury Shed inspired modern image diesel shed.

More pictures...






The brick section slot into the uprights so it holds together quite well without glue. So with glue and built properly it should last!

Hi Phil,

it is coming on very well. What will you be using for the glazing, presumably whatever is used will just need a few passes with a scratch brush to achieve the slightly frosted ( & Georgian wire) effect?

Put me down for one please - collect at Telford (no pressure).

cheers

Is there a free 7mm BT4 with every kit?

Corrugated. Scales out at 6 inch corrugations. I think it works.

Nice weathering on the 47

 

[Compton castle]

I like that option more looks very nice

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Hi Phil,
Might have missed it, but how much will the loco shed cost ?
At least I know my new 47 will fit
