Icing Platform Series
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe lack of figures to ¡°man¡± them is a problem, at least in N-scale.? Walthers offered them in HO scale at one time and maybe they still do.? A gap that Woodland Scenics should consider filling. ? That said, I¡¯m ¡°enlisted¡± farm workers ?and other workers to fill the gap. ? Diane Wolfgram Butte, MT ?

There is a really interesting business in the UK (while that entity lasts) named ModelU which? 3-D scans of people in whatever costume they desire and posed for railroad or general activities (shopping, standing around talking, etc.) and reproduces them through 3-D printing? in most common scales. See?. Check out some of their reproductions and you will see how good they can be.
The? ModelU are a little pricey for a large set. The sets of women shopping and just talking in 1930's costume for the Pendon Museum are incredibly artistic.? Note, I have no business interest in ModelU other than wanting to buy a lot of their figures reproduced in 3.5 mm.? For Dianne I'm sure they can be reproduced in 1/160 (instead of UK N scale of 1/152) as well. I am pretty sure? I have yet to find anything similar in the US so if there is anyone in the UK wants to get dressed up like a California 1940's-1950's icing crew and get scanned (Brian Moore are you listening) we can possibly get the figures. I have a couple of these figures for my weird 4 mm scale (OO, remember HO is 3.5 mm/ft.) occasional binge. They are excellent, easy to paint and deploy.?? kja |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýKen, ? Thank you.? 3-D scanning combined with printing opens up a lot of possibilities, like scanning figures produced in HO scale and reproducing them in N-Scale. ? Diane ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>
