    Not new, but I've been away for a while

    Hi Folks,
    Some of you may remember me from a year or two back, when I used to scratch-build vehicle stuff at 1/24 scale. I haven't posted anything since 2018, but since then I've been dabbling with 3D printing using resin and filament, with 'variable' results. My latest completed model is a 1/16 scale Scimitar in a restoration workshop, all parts either scratch-built or 3D printed. The last image is of a 1/10 scale diorama I am working on as a setting for a samurai figure that I have printed.Click image for larger version

    Hello there Steve. I certainly remember you. Welcome back. 3D printing is really taking off in the hobby.

          Hi Jim, I find that 3D printing allows me to produce parts that would otherwise be difficult to scratchbuilt, particularly parts with curves (E.g. wheels and tyres), or parts with lots of repetition (E.g. track links).

                Steve,
                wow - very nice - I've just started on the 3D printing rollercoaster - only PLA, as I don't have the facilities to cope with resin. Still learning how to get the best out of my printer(s)
                Dave
