3D Printed Railcar Chassis

Le Tue 30 October 2018

This project is another development in a very long interest in models (and real vehicles) that are a hybrid between cars and locomotives. This 3D printed model is a chassis that can be fitted to 1:24 scale car models.

3D Printed Railway Bogie Sets

Le Mon 02 October 2017

I have in mind a couple of projects to create some kit-bashed railway vehicles based on Maisto die cast models. Two 3D printed bogie sets are described here as stand-alone models that can be adapted to any 1:24 scale model or in the case of the narrow gauge bogie model, a rail vehicle that is compatibile with my mine trolley and mine truck designs.

Another 3D Printed Mine Truck

Le Sun 17 September 2017

After making several of the previous Mine Trucks, I decided that putting the buffers together was pretty tedious. There was also the risk of the axles not being aligned aligned too well when using the seperate side components. So the solution was to modify the design slightly so the buffers were printed as a single piece as were the two side panels with the axle end sockets. This page is just a description of the modified design and the new model download links.

A 3D Printed Mine Truck

Le Sun 20 August 2017

I enjoyed the Mine Trolley Prop project a great deal, so I was keen to make some more things in the same style. This mine truck is the result. It is a 3D printed chassis that can be used for any type of rail mounted truck or wagon. The gauge is the same as the Mine Trolley Prop.

A 3D Printed Mine Trolley Prop for Stop Motion

Le Thu 22 June 2017

Think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Hoodwinked, and maybe some spy vs spy and you have an idea of what I have in mind for this model. It is predominantly 3D printed but the top "crate" was made with iceblock sticks.

Texture Galleries

Le Fri 01 April 2016

Many of my project have required me to produce texture resources. Those that are specific to a project are packaged with the project, but there are a number of generic textures that I call on time and time again. I have packaged these up into a series of texture-based galleries so they may be accessed by you for your own projects.
