Modelling a tramway

[Rich O Brien]

Old trams have 10x the appeal to the modern trams. Less is more.

[Rich O Brien]

Its a great model. Well done

[jo-ke]

yesterday I took some pictures for a special texture of that model:

[Rich O Brien]

That came out really good. I was wondering how you got the side image. Panorama shot?

[jo-ke]

I took about 30 photos and merged them in photoshop and deleted the windows and filled the texture with AI.

a also took a 3D Scan but this is not usable

[jo-ke]

first 3D Print is ready

[jo-ke]

first fitting of the textures....

@jo-ke Stunning results! True craftsmanship.

[jo-ke]

another 3D print is finished

[Rich O Brien]

Very smart. 3D printing really must have completely disrupted the mini-model market. Never really thought about until I saw your trains.

The cost to print vs buying a kit must be an order of magnitude cheaper.

I can see the passion in your work

[Bryan K]

Well done as always! From 3D model to 3D life.

[jo-ke]

next 3D Print project. 4 trams....

[Rich O Brien]

Are you home printing or order 3D prints online?

[Mike Amos]

jo-ke. With this sort of project you are indeed the Mr Kipling of render/build. You make exceedingly good (Cake) projects.

[jo-ke]

Thank you.

A friend of mine, working at the Tramway company is printing it for me.
