M1 RPO picture request

[NW Mailing List]

Learning how to make the complex roof curves in CAD seems easier than a
bunch of kitbashing. The issue is there are curves in 3 dimensions to be
fit together. I'll get there.

There are some phenomenal help groups out there, especially on Facebook. I
belong to a 3D Model Railroad group whose members are putting out some
absolutely stunning work. There's a group of C&O modelers making sHO scale
stations that can be printed all in one piece. The modeler is Stan
Yedlowski, and he's posted this in many public groups, so I'm not sharing
any secrets.  He has this nearly perfected, and is working through a few
issues, like curling/warping roof overhangs.

I've also seen some N&W rolling stock models that have been shared with me
that rival commercial quality. Hopefully they will be sold commercially.
3d printing is a whole new world, and it will only continue to improve.
