Mrs. Woody thought she was in for some leisurely walking through nature when I suggested going to Stapleford Park near Melton Mowbray. It wasn't until we were close that I added that it was Stapleford Park Miniature Railway we were going to! It was a great trip out and I have to go through the many photos I took so will report on that tomorrow but here is a taster or three!
It wasn't just railways though....
Back in the World of 3D printed cranes I have made a hook! This will be attached to the crane by means of either some thin wire or stretched plastic sprue. It is small so this close up picture makes it look some what awkward. However once attached and painted it will be almost un-noticed.
Looking through the pile of other 3D printed goodies I pulled out the 009 gauge engine shed. It comes complete with windows and doors but the roof is left up to the builder to create. Thats good with me.
I thought that I would do a detailed truss construction to support the roof which could be admired by looking into the shed. I started cutting strips of plastic card to construct the trusses from when for no other reason then curiosity I opened the attached bag of bits to look at the windows and doors. I also found two highly detailed trusses! It was then that the Homer Simpson Doh moment came about! Doh!
Now what do I do with all those scale 12 inch by 3 inch roofing timers?
