printed that, it looks rubbish, redesigning something a fair bit better

needs paving adding to the bottom edge, then slicing up for printing

For some reason, that reminded me of the old trick when tarting up a clapped out car for sale. A badly rusted sub-frame can be disguised by bogging up the holes and applying black paint. Then, while the paint is wet, throw dirt all over it. Let it dry and give it a brush off. Looks just like a solid frame with normal road muck on it.

Uh, never done it myself, you understand, just saying...

a "friend" told me a thick layer of underseal then a drive down a dirt track then cleaning most of it off worked wonders

Updated the file, now has pavement and has the ends cropped to size

now also has been cut into three for the printer, should print tomorrow, probably about 6 hours of work printing in two runs.

will be in the background while I work on the main layout

Heck aleopardstail,

All this Modern Tech stuff.
Point rodding kits fine, even making summat from plasticard, but I still
struggle with inkjet printers.Yep I'm a dinosaur.

I just remember a good old splash of paint can make such a difference.

the old ways suffer less from "its a bit too cold to print stuff"

May be a delay here, it will still be done but probably not for Mid January

I dropped it
