Although most people have heard of laser-cut and 3-D printed model
railway parts and kits, most modellers have little knowledge or
experience of them. This fascinating and well-illustrated book
describes in non-technical language how these machines work and how
railway modellers can use them to produce remarkable models for
their layouts. With reference to the different modelling scales,
the author discusses in detail the advantages and disadvantages of
different types of machines, and the materials they employ. He also
shows how beginners can install and use 'Sketchup Make', a free CAD
(Computer Aided Design) program from the Internet. With
step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs, the author
takes the modeller through the early stages of using this program
before providing many examples of how to design model railway
related items such as laser-cut roofing tiles, palisade fencing,
brickwork, and the detailed elements of station awning. In
addition, he demonstrates how to create 3-D printed furniture,
barrels, packing crates, guttering and down pipes, rivet heads, and
a workman's hut.
