Half Homes
Adobe Illustrator.
Behind the silo are a stack of homes, unfortunately due to space constraints these have to be ‘half homes’.
They will butt up to the backboard.
All buildings were photographed and draw up in Adobe Illustrator. Buildings are no more than 20mm off the backboard
Printed onto paper, glued to styrene then cut.
.. now to paint them
Corner House
The ‘Corner House’ next to the pub, on railway parade.
Made from plastic styrene sheet
Brick sheet purchased through Woodpecker Model Railways
3D Silo
Drawn using TinkerCad
After some searching around and looking at my options re shapeways and other Aussie options based in Melbourne.
I was lucky enough to speak to a mate in town who had a 3D printer and use it.
Saving hundreds of dollars and the uncertainty that it would print correctly.
We did have a small issue with the top section of the larger piece (The silo is printed in two sections) but with Tim’s experience it wasn’t an issue and he just printed a new top. (See below)
Now to mount it onto some timber and work out how to fit it into the layout. Not sure I want it permanently fixed or not.
Details and painting coming soon!
Culcairn Railway Station
