T&RSMD

Post by James109 »

Started to Build A traction & rolling stock depot (T&RSMD), this is based on the works at Polmadie in Glasgow UK.

Used to work in there several years ago all be it mostly night-shift. I am using google maps and earth for pictures as stopping on the M74 is not recommended.

Building a prototype building first to see if it suits then will be covering in plasticard or printed brick.

Main printers are Ender 3 3D, Cricut 2d and Tinkercad for the design.

That's one monolith of a building there James109 and a very clever tool. I've not seen one of those before.
Is it to scale?

On the subject of foil have you tried turkey foil? It's a little thicker.
Or perhaps gluing foil onto a card back before running it through the corrugating tool if it will fit?
Thanks

Thanks for your kind comments, the building is based on the Polmadie works in Glasgow with this scale taken from photos and videos of it.

Have had the green stuff roller for a few days now and was planning using food serving platter foil, but will give the card idea a try.
