I've been looking for a 4mm stove to put in a 1930's station office but was drawing a blank for something suitable. After the "Shapeways" thread from last year I had not considered them, but thought beggars can't be choosers. Lo and behold I found the perfect one, designed by Platform 1's own Andy Sollis, but it was in the dark side (O gauge) I messaged Andy and within 2 days he'd rejigged his design to 4mm , posted it on Shapeways and sent me a link to it. http://shpws.me/RICz Received it a couple of days ago. Assembled and painted, it's now in place and really looks the part. Unfortunately my camera won't focus well enough to post a photo. I'd just like to say thanks again to Andy (I have no connection except as a fellow forum member.) One tip that Andy gave me was to order other items at the same time to make the P&P from Holland better value. Cheers Jim
Cheers Jim. Shame about the camera, but really pleased you like the stove - did the top detail still come out ? Andy
Yes,really well. I used a very thin primer and then a Staedtler permanent marker. This gives it a black coat but with a metallic sheen. This stops the fine detail getting clogged. Looks just like somebody buffs it up every day. Jim
