Very nice - I am tempted by a 4mm scale one when you go into production

Because you have printed it flat, the layer lines on the horizontal planks don't look out of place - they could be wood grain.

If it were mine I'd lightly sand the outer faces of the vertical timber ribs to remove the layer lines where they run across the grain. Only a few minutes work, hopefully.

Beware, there are a million and one more variables to play with in FDM printing than resin - you still need a bigger bin.....

Unpainted,  you can't see the layer lines in the flesh.

Lets see what it looks like with a coat of paint.

Might print a 4mm one tomorrow.

I'd definitely be interested in one of those in 00 scale!

The layer lines give it a bit of a wood effect. But at some point the buffer holes vanished. I'll fix that in Github.

Flying Snail, I'd lay off that diesel wine. Even Co-op screwtop tastes better.

 

V0.3 with buffer holes now in Github.

Doh!

I didn't spot that!
