Brushs Laser Cutting and 3d Printing workbench

Interesting idea to use a coloured acrylic. The jointing on the tiles is incredibly tight. When I made the original tube model I used a variety of acrylics for the red shades and scribed the mortar lines through the paint to the white styrene beneath. The whole wa# then given a wash with a straw colour that also helped to produce the glaze effect.

Yes, I’d have thought so. I’m looking to use a coloured acrylic to represent the tiles.

And a MDF version for 7mm?

I presume the acrylic would have to be keyed/primed to take paint washes?

I was asked a few weeks ago to supply a track making jig for 60’ gwr track.

So I’ve designed this jig.




Slide your favourite brand of 8’6” sleeper in to the accurately spaced slots. Intentio sleepers are perfect.


Then after threading your favourite brand of chair onto the cut to length rails. These hold the rails in place to the correct gauge (Finescale, S7, 31.5mm gauges are available).


Then use solvent to glue the chairs to the sleepers. Use plenty so the plastic really melts into the grain of the sleepers. Remove the track holding jigs and slide the track panel out, ready to lay on your layout.

I’ll do other spacing jigs on request.

Nice job, Phil,

to add, if you're making curved track, only stick down one rail. Curve the half-track to fit the job, gauge the second rail from the first.

I made some similar jigs pre-curved to 1800mm or thereabouts for PD loco, so I could do both rails at one hit, but they were a bit "just for this job".

Lasers are wonderful toys tools!

I gave my LNWR section to a customer so he could see how it would look on his layout and he passed it along to another customer who painted it up.


Looks to me properly smoke stained as I’m sure they looked like.

More warehouse kits cut out and way to to customers.

Northlight end.


Decorative topped section sans the decorative bricks.

Made of 6mm MDF, these are as big kits as the original buildings were. I can make these in single sections up to 1000mm wide.

For an order that required my Northlights, I have taken some pictures. A really effective background can soon be created using these low relief modules.

Its in my signature but its www.intentio.co.uk

If you can't find what you want, drop me a PM.

And for the 4mm modellers. A low relief warehouse for you too. Still managed to get an angle for the plinthed bricks.

A few commission buildings in the Intentio Paint shop.

First up a lasercut bridge. We've tried to make this as accurate as possible and included details such as the jack arches thats wouldn't normally be seen. The customer will be running trains with cameras so, this time the extra details need to be there. You'll notice that we don't lasercut every layer on one off kits. Its quicker to do some things the old fashioned way and get out the tools!










Next up is a brace of Signal Boxes. Identical except one is Southern and one is GWR.

These were painted with white wash and @Peter Insole has captured this brilliantly on the models.

Is all the relief on the stonework done with the laser? How many different laser settings are involved?

I'm note sure I can figure out how to draw that. Thinking cap time.

Excellent work and attention to detail as always!

How? I guess... Trotec software has great raster engrave control in the software, but you have to play and not out of the box. We’ve achieved similar results with our Speedy 500, after some time testing.

I've got a Speedy 400 flexx and adding a Speedy 500 to keep up. Exciting times.
