New Layout - New Reckless Experimentation

Thanks, it’s still severely under-detailed for my desires. It’s gotten so hard to find detail bits these days. I think I need to invest in a 3D printer.

at least real items, one can touch. seems everybody is concentrating on creating things in virtual reality only.

somehow i doubt, that you have enough empty space anywhere for placing a printer :wink:

I think a 12" x 12" would be enough for the detail parts I want to make, but it’s finding the $

Start looking for used resin printers on Facebook or Craigslist. The “old” 2k or 4k printers should be a lot cheaper sub $200 range if your willing to buy used. The new printers are 8k or even higher.

Even if you had to replace a screen it would cheaper than buying used.

yeah, exactly, what i thought eight years ago.
it turned out, that the only things, that printer did well, where things i like to make by hand - like facades and similars.

so, follow Craig’s sugestion, if any, buy a resin printer. they are a lot better for small details.
at least i am told, that they are. the local goverment forbids the import of a resin printer ( “you don’t need a second printer that you will not use” )

If I think WOW 20 times does that meet the minimum character count? Awesome Vic.

Vic,

There is a lot of fun and heart packed into this railroad! It also warms my heart to see someone else for whom no locomotive should be without a home!

Vic I’ve got to echo the rest . You never seem to stop amazing the masses with your ability to create a scenic wonder with your attention to the smallest detail while finding a believable continuity in the over all. I wish I had your artistic ability.

Me too. Me too. Me too. (20+ chars)

Just WOW!

Cliff, my very specific (and 20+) question:
how did you manage to give such a short reply?

You hold down the “-” (minus) key until the character count is filled up. And for some reason it makes the text big and bold.

Unfortunately, there’s now a grammar cop in the software, so if it thinks you’re not making a complete sentence you’ll have to try something different… maybe several times.

Does it work?----------

Does it?

OK, hit after your text.

I think it only works for Cliff? :innocent:

Maybe Bruce is right, huh…

Korm, I type a few characters, hit the enter key (to go to the next line), lean on the minus / hyphen key (to make a short line: ------------------ ), then hit enter again…

The preview should show the text big and bold.
