East Dock an Irish Timesave (ish)

The whole digital sculpting concept is mind-boggling. Amazing to see how it works. And that mill is a beast!

More workshop than layout topic today.

Successfully printed the facades of some of the low relief background buildings first planned approx 14 years ago.

Terrace of 3-4 houses .

The windows/doorway originally etched in 2012, the intention to use Wills Flemish Bond material sheets in combination with etched window/doorways and lintols.

The Dublin Port layout reserrected in a different in OO about 10 years later with some of the buildings in 3D printed form.

Windows/doorway placed temporarily in the openings to check fit before carrying out final (hopefully) adjustments to the 3D model & print set up. While brick coarsing, opening, cill, lintol and parapet lines came out well some 'interesting' distortion along the party wall between adjacent buildings & de-lamination between layers in one corner (joy of resin printing) Some tweaks to the model (digital reinforcing) to reduce distrotion and delamination resulted in some improvement to the building on the right!

The pitched roofs & chimneys on this terrace  are hidden behind a low parapet when viewed from street level!

Next challenge will be painting and weathering the brickwork.
