    I have decided (whether wisely or not remains to be seen) to do a dual build of a coal office/weighbridge and staithes, 1 being my competition Scalescenes version and the other a Tcut version (with Scalescenes wrap) for my St Michael plonk'
    Anyway here are the 2 kits side by side;

    Not achieved much today but have glued the sheets to their respective card and part built the side walls. Bit of a poor photo sorry.

    Hi Pete there's a table of settings for a printer (O scale 176% I think) etc on Chris's competition thread.

    Thanks Ian, its the the mechanics of increasing the size I am having problems with, when I printed a couple of practice sheets I couldn,t see any way of increasing the scale/ratio, only paper types number of prints etc, I,m probably missing something I,ve only had the printer a couple of days.

    Pete.

    Sorry Ian thought I replied to this but must have not hit the post button I blame the medications.

    Answer yes doing the Coal office will try and give my one a 80/90's Highland theme.
    Have gone for OO as most of my stock is that era.
    The print should be well and truly dry when I get it off the line.:giggle:

    The build is now well on the way and no major problems encountered. I over compensated with the heavy card but no real issue other than I had to re-glue and clamp one wall (see the culprit on first image). I certainly recommend using this as a learning tool before bigger projects and some of the techniques I will employ in future non Scalescene modeling . It'll be interesting to see how it compares to my Lcut build next.

    a. The walls are assembled

    Yeah use a very sharp blade to cut the respective elements and don't automatically use thick card, use layers of thinner card to build up to the thickness required.

    Ian (the wise one... ish)

    Ian / Pete

    for the thicker card, I found standing up while cutting was easier on the wrist and hand, and produced squarer cuts, but that may be because i can't cut straight :avatar:

    Paul, to save you standing up, you can cut the legs of the table shorter... :avatar::avatar:
