Oh dear oh, dear, I have been neglecting to post on here to the disappointment I'm sure of no-one. However now I've noticed you aren't going to get away with it any longer.
Mind the dust...
The card carriages stalled a bit because I'm still getting used to making things from this material, so the new plan is to build some tabletop game buildings and get some practice with this method for model railway based models. These models need to be as simple and cheap as possible to make, and hopefully quick, although I admit the last goal would be a first in my model making.
The plan is to achieve all this by downloading texture pictures, pasting them together on a graphics programme and print them out, making a sort of mini Ikea kit. I recall that the campus where I completed my theatre training was built in exactly this manner: with office buildings, barracks, dining room and houses all made from standard parts brought in using trucks. Only problem was that they sent the wrong parts: we were in Montana and the buildings were meant for California and thus had no insulation whatsoever, making for a very cold winter, but I digress.
Anyway, this attempt is a small “power station” or similar. I’ve discovered that tabletop games are much more interesting when models have interiors so this will hopefully contain a fairly generic and probably quite ridiculous “device” which for now is known as the “GLOM” or “Gratuitously Large and Ominous Machine”…
More pictures when CC will let me upload them...
