My last few prints I have been adding supports manually (just click a spot and the support is created) as I find the automatic function generally goes into a bit of overkill and also adds supports where you don't really want them. With the chair, I did use the automatic function, then deleted what I didn't want and added a few more at strategic locations. The biggest issue is trying to figure out what orientation you want the part to be printed in. That orientation can drastically increase or reduce the number of supports you need to add, and it can also drastically alter your total print time - which is the height of your print / layer thickness, and exposure time per layer The software has come a long way in the last six months with (I think) three new releases. The supports function in particular has really improved. If they keep improving at this rate it's going to be a nice piece of software. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bughunter Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Recently I found this thread and was going to all that huge amount of pages here of your very impressive work! Well done in all aspects of modeling! Now I have to speak up: The printed curtain do not match the level of your other work. I don't like them. I think the main reason is, that they block the light completely while real curtains let some light through. Or is the back side black on real ones? May be it is a different story, if you print them in clear resin and paint afterwards. But I think real cloth would be better. HGW creates seatbelts on very thin fabric, but I don't know where to find that raw material. Cheers, Frank 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spec for the curtains calls for black out material as a backing for the curtains so no light would be getting through. I like your idea, but printing them in clear resin wouldn't make any difference - in order to get the appropriate color, I would need to paint them, and paint works by being opaque, so even if the curtains were clear, the paint would prevent any light getting through. Someone with good skills in airbrushing (not me!) may be able to get away with very light coats, but the fact that it's blue/turquoise on the inside and white on the outside would mean that the paint would have to be thick enough for the opposite color not to show through.

Have I mentioned that every return here to catch up I'm mentally humming the 'Time for Tellytubbies!' theme tune in excited anticipation? I think the clear resin is good as long as you don't overdo the UV exposure Tony. I've painted up some of the lights later in this post and the clear still looks good at this point anyway. The mojo was waning a bit this week so I purposely stayed away from the build and concentrated on some 3D modeling for another project which is now printing as I type. Come the weekend though, I was all set for another session. Cue the wife... "I just bought a dining table and some chairs, let's go and pick it up". What she didn't tell me was that it was 7 ft x 3 ft with 8 chairs and an interleaf. Several hours later I managed to get home with the table (still fully assembled) and the 8 chairs all stuffed in my old beater, the 2005 Town & Country. Say what you like about those things but it's amazing just what you can cram into one. So eventually I managed to get within arms reach of the build and I had completely forgot that what was awaiting me was painting. Well, nothing for it but to dive in and get it done. I hate painting, especially hand painting and I had airbrushing followed by hand painting for a good number of hours today. Apologies beforehand for the quality of the photos but the camera must have been on some weird setting and I didn't notice. First up were the curtains. Primed and then sprayed matt white on the outside face. That was followed by a custom mix - and for once I think I got a great match to the actual color I was trying to achieve. This was a mix of French Blue, Matt white, and a drop or two of yellow. I managed to airbrush the majority of the curtains but had to hand paint the tie back and the return as it came around to meet the white. Then hand painted the hem along the bottom of the curtains which was a real pig to do. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the outcome though the blue is pretty flat. I may give it a coat of satin to try and provide some accentuation on the colors. I can't see me getting away with the usual methods of weathering here - the curtains would just end up looking dirty. Then it was eye strain time. Painting some of the interior lights. These were incredibly difficult to paint as the parts were so clear you couldn't see any detail on the light itself until you had applied paint to it - with a 000 Brush! There's no making mistakes painting these - being so clear, it's impossible to remove paint if it gets on the wrong area and the part is scrap. That 'splodge' at the bottom of each light isn't a splodge - it's a fleur de lis shape (sort of) rising from the bottom of the light. The two chromed lights are for the bar area. I can see in this photo that need to go back and paint a couple of missed spots. oh goody! The table brackets also got a coat of brass but it's way too shiny I think. I'll give them a matt coat to dull that brightness down. Two brass hand rails are required for the corridor / dining area. I suppose to prevent drunken fare paying passengers from falling out the windows of an evening. In order to make sure I got the handrails level and all at the same height I made a small fixture to help me get a repeatable location when drilling. 1st hand rail dry fitted (and checking the curtains would still fit) I need to make some mounting plates for the hand rails - I don't think it looks right with the rod just disappearing into the woodwork. Just for kicks I stuck one of the new lights in place - it fits! That's much better than my last attempt. The blue tinge btw is the blu-tack I used to mount it shining through. Based on that, I'll need to paint the back of the lights before fitting them to the wall. (and remove all the dust) As is almost always the case - when checking thought my reference photo's again I spotted that the wall cabinets in the bar had a chromed bar along the back of the cabinet. I believe this was for mounting those upside down bottle holders thingies - and before you ask... no! I'm not going to make them! I did think I should add the chromed bar though. That was relatively simple - a small styrene strip covered with aluminum tape, then I used a short length of wood to give me the level, and stuck them on. Both done. and I couldn't resist throwing a couple of bottles in there. Note to self: must make some labels for the bottles To finish up today, it was time for the obligatory dry fit of assorted bits. and I may as well add a table lamp, a bottle and a couple of glasses (that can hardly be seen) I find those dry fits are always a mojo lifter. This is really starting to look like what my vision of Pegasus would look like when I started this all those years ago. Still quite a ways to go though. I'm glad I redid the chairs as they look so much better then the originals. I think I am going to have to reprint those table lamps. As nice as they are, I think they are oversized now that I see this all together. The top of the lamp should only come up as far as the bottom of the sliding windows. That lamp being so large gives it a toy-like appearance imo. Stay safe and cosy folks. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case you want to add some ambiance to the dining car section for dinner and drinks 🍷 lol . Looking good, when can we start booking? I did in a moment of madness consider adding lighting at one time - but I'm already 6 years into this so NO ! Just a small update this time around. Things seem to be taking forever to accomplish these days. It seems the closer you get to the finish line the longer things take, or it could just be that now I am getting to all the finicky stuff. It's curtain fitting time! I tried shading them but it failed miserably so I settled with a satin clear coat, I'm not really a soft furnishings type of guy anyway. I wanted to make sure the curtains stayed in place once fitted so thought about using the tie backs as a securing feature. Looking though my stash I found some nice brass rivets which fitted nicely into the center of the pommel I had created in the tie-backs. At least they would once I had drilled a hole for them. Luckily I also have some stainless rivets when it comes to doing the curtains in the bar area since it's all chrome finished The pommels were drilled through and I offered the curtains up to the side frame and drilled through the woodwork for the rivet, adding a touch of superglue to the rivet as it was inserted. Curtains should be nice and secure now. As soon as the curtains were fitted I could add the pelmets which finished off the paneling nicely. Table brackets were glued in place - the brass paint was very glossy so I gave them a misting of semi matt and they look a lot better now I just need to get moving and finish off the tables now Over the last few months I've had that same side frame fixed but never actually looked at that side of the carriage. Now it was time to carefully turn it around and see what the curtains looked like from outside. I'll take that! With only lights and luggage racks to fit (until I remember something else I've no doubt forgotten about), it was time to fit the other side frame - and what a job that was! I won't tell you how long I spent trying to get the second side frame bolted into position - I'll just tell you that the watchmakers kit I ordered provided teeny weeny bolts of various lengths, but what they didn't tell you was that there was more than one thread size... but only one size of nut!!!! Of course I had picked the wrong threaded bolts. I can't believe it took me so long to figure that out. Idiot! But it's on now It's going to be tight working in there So, more progress achieved but still loads more to do. I did consider trying to do all the paneling before the side frame was fitted but that presents a different set of problems so I'm going to have a go with the side frame in place and see how it goes Edited May 17, 2020 by hendie 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHS? you really don't appreciate a service like that until you've had experience with the money grabbing monster that is the American medical service on a sweeter note though, more outbreaks of modeling have taken place. I even took a days vacation today so I could dwell down in the basement away from the sunshine and warmth. Luggage racks were printed up and turned out surprisingly well. I had tried printing these before but the previous version did not have the shelves fitted, only the brackets. I found that although they printed out fine, they were too flimsy to actually handle. This time I added the shelves and hoped they would turn out okay. They were still very flimsy though even with the shelves which was no real surprise - the shelves are only about 0.3 mm thick. They were still problematic to handle. Prior to going under the UV light they were still soft and a bit floppy and if I removed the supports before the UV, there was a chance they would warp under the heat/light. On the flip side, after they'd been under the UV, they hardened up but became very brittle. Out of 5 printed, I lost two to the parts snapping while I was trimming the supports - even the small amount of flex introduced by the act of snipping was enough to make the shelves break. I lost another one part to a bit breaking off while I was drilling - I'm drilling a 0.6 mm bit into a 1.2 mm boss so that only leaves 0.3 mm around - if I've got the drill dead center. I'll make sure I print plenty extra when I do the next run. Primed and painted, they do look good though - but still very fragile Then some 0.5 mm rod inserted to help provide a bit of strength and some visual appeal. There's 4 lengths of rod per luggage rack. Drilling each rack is a ridiculous effort - I have to start with a 0.3 mm drill then step up to a 0.5 mm bit then a 0.6 mm bit.... 12 times on each rack.. Then just to make matters worse, the 4 holes in the center bracket are too far for a standard drill bit to reach so I have to go in at all sorts of weird angles and try not to break the darned thing. Worth it in the end though - I just hope I have made them the right size as I had to guess on dimensions from photos Another time consuming task were the doors leading into the car from the corridors. As before, I had to make a laminate and sandwich the 'glass' in between two layers of basswood. This was one of those jobs where you do a bit - then have to wait for glue to dry, then do a bit more, wait for glue to dry etc. Then I've got to go around and stain all the fresh edges, and only once that's all done can I clear coat the doors. Yes, I checked - the doors leading into the corridors have bigger windows than the door between the bar and dining area. The bathroom finally got it's mirror fitted - that was one of those easy jobs. Now I could begin fitting the bathroom... Everything begins with the usual dry fit to make sure it all goes together according to plan Eeek! Wait! This wasn't in the plan... I found that several panels I had made previously had developed a rather obvious warp. I guess it's not surprising since they've lain around for three or four years at least. However, it gave me pause for thought and I couldn't help but be concerned that even straight panels could warp over time. To that end I had to compromise with longevity as the prime aim as opposed to accuracy. My chosen solution was to use a wood/plastic/wood lamination on strategic panels to add strength and prevent future warping. The panel to the left of the dinette has been laminated while the panel between the bathroom and dinette has had the plastic (1 mm thick styrene) added but still awaiting the final wood lamination to be applied. It means I've had to fudge dimensions a little and the dinette is now 2 mm narrower than designed, but at least I'll be able to sleep at night now. No doubt that 2 mm shortage will throw up some other problems when I finish off the paneling in there. The dinette panel from the dining area Then back to dry fitting - checking everything is square to the side frames and to other panels, and that all the panels meet up as they should with no gaps and with minimal work needed once fitted. (I can just about get my fingers into that corridor area so hopefully there won't be a lot of fettling to be done in there. I then spent over an hour trying to get the flooring done for the bathroom. The original design had some weird pattern on the floor and tiles were at 45° to the side frames. Trying to get that pattern somewhere in the middle of the floor without being partially obscured by any of the fittings was fun and a half. I ended up with bits of templates taped to each other to get the outline correct then carefully cut out one of the few pieces of (ink) printed flooring I have left and assembled everything in place. I think that's about as good as I'm going to get it. Now all I've got to do is glue that flooring in place and I can assemble the bathroom I'm sure I made a toilet roll way back in the past decade for this... didn't I ? I'll need to ratch about all the parts boxes to see if I can find it ... or maybe just print one 😉 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Out of this world and flying past several others now. Just brilliant. When I was a boy, (boy how many weeks ago was that huh?) I used to gaze in awe into the large cased ship models on display in Birmingham Science Museum and in the windows of certain travel agencies. In awe did I say? My mom had to drag me away if there was shop with a display model in the window (we wouldn't ever be able to afford even thinking about sea cruises but!) that was where dreams and my delight of model making was born. I see this delight developing from Alan and it takes me back there, I want to stand in that bathroom looking at myself in the mirror and turning off the taps (faucets lads) when my hands are clean. Alan's Pullman is a transport to another place. Thank you H, mate. Thanks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
