i wonder if the wild west was full of racing wagons, and littered with dead cowboys and other baddies,
and if you hit a stage coach passenger, do you cut a line in the side of your trusty steed, to mark the occasion?

im all for 3d printing, providing it still encourages the hobby of model making in general, no doubt though, another way ahead will arrive one day
i remember a STNG episode, where carving was laser driven by mind thoughts

love the precise 60/20 drops, lol would you notice 59/20
the build is certainly coming along nicely, well done

once printing has started, can it be paused, or switched off over night?

good afternoon everyone
thankyou for likes and comments
with 75% of the chassis done, the sharp shooters and paying passengers need somewhere to sit
the internal shaped formers help to create the shape on the sides of the carriage, these were made up last night and allowed to dry
today the two sides were married via the floor, pva and C/A and accelerator made quick work of the setting process
two end pieces go in to ensue the top is the correct distance apart
the floor end is then chamfered to ensure the outside skin is not fouled
the skin was ok to put on, i never used any heat or water, just took me time and pinned as i went along
the skin is way oversized, to allow for not putting it on straight
i will now wait until tomorrow before trimming it back

good evening everyone
i have taken the chassis as far as i can for now, as i want to strip it down and repaint it,
i found some white elastic which was stained black, with ink looks like it might work for the suspension strapping
the brake bar has now been bent 90 degrees to now for the handbrake
i started the top this evening, one of the best tips i have learnt recently is c/a with a decent PVA and some accelerator, works a dream, when you dont have the right size clamps, its is also pinned
white elastic bought for making facemasks, stained black for the leather strapping

i read that it also made the carriage sway a lot, causing motion sickness

i may get a few things wrong on this build, but i have intentions of two other builds before i get back to the Amerigo, one of them will be a semi scratch horse drawn Omnibus with possibly a donar chassis

good morning everyone
the chassis work is coming to an end with the exception of the wheels
the carriage suspension is in place, but the the restrain bars still need to be fitted, these stop the whole top part moving forward/backways and collapsing
from these suspension arm, i then made up the brackets that takes the banding to which the carriage sits on, im bit confused what this was made off, the kits wants me to make it from wood, and i presume to paint it so its looks like metal, how ever the Model Trailways kits shows it as being leather like
i adapted the brake lever to raft join again, it is now feasable that the lever can be moved to moved the raft to create friction on the wheels#

good evening everyone
quite a bit done to the chassis today, although you wont believe it
the brass round will eventually be bent and attached to the handbrake lever, however the way the kit wants me to join them to the raft made me look at alternatives, but there would need to be more room required to achieve it so i came up with my own idea, which is tidier and looks better
the lever moves this raft which in turn creates friction on the wheels to slow them down
these bits of brass sandwich the raft which is tidier then a 1mm hole to attach
carriage suspension
each corner has a vertical metal bandings and has taken some time to get right
two metal strips are turned at one end, and fixed to the frame the other, a folded bands secures them, and a rod stops them from collapsing
still very much work in progress

Yep I remember that one as well, but it highlighted the creativity aspect of modeling and made the creative part as easy as thinking I want it this way.... Did nothing for the art of building....
3D modeling is going to blend the creative part with the building part, (build it in the computer then send it to a file) the printing part becomes nothing but a mechanical representation of your computer skills..... I supposed the finishing, (painting) will get finer and finer though until they figure a way to computer control that as well...
In the end, like in Star Trek all you will have to do it ask the computer for whatever you want and a replicator will energy matter transfer it onto your replicator pad, all finished and ready to display.....
Damn, that's a bleak future for modeling......
