Brushs Laser Cutting and 3d Printing workbench

[Eastsidepilot]

One of my long lasting memories of being a very young boy, 6-7 years old, sitting at the kitchen table building model kits, guided by my Father with a Woodbine in the corner of his mouth, flicking up and down as he spoke, the aroma drifting around the room.
You wouldn't do that nowadays with your child !

A little commission job for a fellow thunder this afternoon. I say a 1960’s style concrete prefab garage but may be even earlier.

The Capri seems to add tons of atmosphere. This will make a great model and plenty of weathering opportunities @Yorkshire Dave

Nice one Phil, used to see those garage's everywhere, it's the type where you have to get out of the car, shut the door and push the car in

I think they have had more than one mirror off cars over the years!

That'll fill a little gap rather nicely......................

A dabble in 4mm for a commission today. Damn it feels small!

Hi Phil,

Recognised that delightful little building straight away!

Here is my Nan Ivy's photo of her great friend standing just in front of it in 1951:

Pete.

100% correct. Fantastic spot.

The prototype is built so it is a bit rough and the roof isn't quite right as its over scale. I'll have a look for something better.

And there will be a whole generation of modellers wondering why you've built something so obviously old, but with social distancing provisions fitted...

It looks like it has a bit of a face.

Recut and tweaked but still with over scale roof.

A bit of LNWR on the workbench this morning.



Living hinge cut in to the MdF to allow for the curve.



Overlays glued on. Window frames and door loose fitted until after detailing and painting.


Sone black and white atmosphere pictures.


The prototype

A couple of projects on the workbench today.

First up, a garden shed for a fellow thunder.


And going through the Intentio paint shop, an L&Y signal box. Partially built and primer added.

Like the garden shed Phil, but is it a bit low or the gardener a bit tall? Either way I can see some banged heads...

Hence the cross-eyed look.

The work of Nikki Wilkes who is using my laser engraved stone sheets to scratch build a Mill House.



As we are using the laser to produce the parts, we are considering making this into a kit. It would be a bit more expensive than usual but would there be any interest?
