An August Workbench update

So, what is this free 3D-file I recently found and printed?

Here are a couple of hints:

When mounted on a LGB-wagon it becomes a G-scale camera-wagon:

And here is a video when I tried it out at a friend's garden railway yesterday:

Here is a link to the stl-file to the mobile-phone stand if you would like to print one for your self.

...more 3D-printing:

I recently played an 'Old West' game and realized that I was lacking some essential scenery for such scenarios. At Thingiverse I found some free Cactus-files, but since they would take some time to 3D-print, I decided that I would run a testprint with low resolution as it would be quicker and I could se how they turned out.

I painted them to get an idea how they would look, but even if they're printed in low resolution I think they turned out just OK, so I'll probably just keep them as they are.

Since the cactus' turned out OK, I was curious to see if other scenery and terrain for model railways could be 3D-printed an still look OK. This tree is actually a wargame scenery file, but if it's looks good I might consider using it with my model railway.

Painted:

And this is how it looks compared to another spruce which is actually made as 'model railway scenery':

With snow added and temporary 'planted' on my H0e/H0n3O Pizza-layout:

It would be interesting to hear your point of view and opinions on the 3D-printed scenery in the comment-section below. Yea or Nay?

...findings at the local 'Pound Shop':

During a visit to a my local 'Pound Shop' I found a couple of modelling and wargaming related items:

4'x6' Grasmats for only $8.85/ £6.88. I guess they will work great, either modified or unmodified, as 'battle-mats' for wargames:

I also found a very cheap set of make-up brushes in the shop as well, and decided to get them as I've found a YouTube-video that recommended make-up brushes for drybrushing miniatures.

The only 'challenge' was to get them passed the Cashier as he was the talkative kind of type that might have been likely to use them him self. -Off course he asked if I was using them for make-up or technical purposes. - I was tempted to answer 'for make-up' like he would belive me when I answered the latter anyway...

Some new,  and very long lasting projeckts are about to hit the 3D-printer:

PS: More info on the drybrushed miniature (and his colleagues) above will shortly follow in this blog. Please follow.
