Did you do any more of your own 3D prints, Roy?

Very good work on the isinglas ones.

Hi Martyn

Re: my own prints, I haven't done any more work on them to be honest, in fact I haven't done much CAD work or 3D printing for a fair while for a variety of reasons. Although superficially the coaches looked OK, I was having difficulty keeping the sides from distorting even though a fair bit thicker than the Isinglass ones. I know I can do better, but to be honest, even at my very best, my limited skills and equipment mean there can be no comparison to what Andy at Isinglass produces.

Re: the Isinglass kits, thank you for your kind comments. I hope that by showing pictures of completed models made by an average modeller such as I, it may encourage more people to purchase them and have a go, a kit complete with everything but wheels and glazing comes in at under £30 which I think very reasonable for a limited production model made in this way.

Of course the motivation is partly selfish -  the greater the take-up, the more likelihood there is that Andy will invest more time and effort in the N Gauge range of LNER coaches and other bits.
