Brushs Laser Cutting and 3d Printing workbench

[Jeremy Good]

Phil,

I'm in the process of building a P4 model of Bodmin General in the 1950's. I've got copies of the articles which I'll dig out for you.

Regards

Jeremy

Sorry plans are for both God What a Railway buildings.

They are yours if you want them Phil.

Yes please.

A little more done on the signal box.

 

[LarryG]

Would you be able to continue the bricks to the base for folk wanting a free standing signalbox with a low height plinth?

Yep!

I've got a new exclusive material that I'm calling intentio lazerboard that I'm going to move my kits over to. It is just 0.45mm thick and is ideal to engrave and use as an overlay on a robust shell.

7mm, 4mm and 2mm engraved flemish bond bricks.

That look`s ideal for scratch builders Chris.

A couple of question`s if i may though,will the sheet`s be the same size as your roof tie sheet`s.
And thinking ahead....would you be able to do these in 1:48 scale for US O scale....?

Brian.

Hi Brian,

I can do any scale and sheet size. Just send me a pm and I'll sort for you.

Thanks Chris,

My plans are a little way off at the moment for my US layout,but i`ll definitley give you shout when i start to do the building`s.

Cheers,
Brian.

Can you supply plain sheets, and what size? I've got some 1:160 scale buildings to make and 1mm MDF is a tad thick.

[Edit] And can it be etched/cut by a laser diode?

The thin material looks interesting because of the far less deep mortar courses.

Can you reduce the laser cut width / depth for the 2mm scale brickwork?

Tim

 

[Osgood]

I guess it is quite feasible to produce ‘perspective’ pieces too - tapered workpiece, tapered mortar lines of diminishing width?

Tim

Using the technique that I do, no but I may be able to do so another way. It will just take longer. For 2mm scale, lasercut brick work is a bit overkill. I think very good results can be had with printed overlays.

 

[Tim Watson]

Maybe so, but we have used it to good effect on a large warehouse on CF. Unfortunately the Chinese laser cutter used for the work is currently out of commission. Printed paper works very well in some hands, but it doesn’t suit my style of 2mm modelling.

Your laser cut brickwork is similar in texture to the Slaters plastikard brick sheets. We improve that by sanding it down to nearly flat. For frontline buildings we make our own styrene brick sheet using an heated etched zinc plate. It is very subtle and also introduces irregularities.

A commission job I've posted before has been completed and today I got pictures from @Peter Insole who expertly painted this.

 

[LarryG]

Very nice indeed (bridge and paintwork).

It just seems to get better, Phil.

Fabulous!
