Whangarei Station 1:45 scale

 After building the little rooms on the paddle steamer I scratched an itch in terms of buildings, Something I've looked over due to a number of reasons such as space etc. 

Whangarei Station Building as it was in the 1950's in 1:45 scale for dad's layout, the building foundation and platform I plan on 3d printing. I've been experimenting with using tinfoil folded 2 times glued together with PVA glue & water smeared across all 4 layers. Then running it through a 3d printed roller to create the corrugated iron look. I do have a rough blueprint but so low resolution numbers cannot be made out.

The river queen

Showing off a 1:45 scale RC Stern Paddle River Boat I 3d printed for dad for his O gauge american railway.

Based off the river queen. The length is approx 1mtr & weighs 2.5kg

The main body is screwed into the hull and is easily removable.

Wired up about 50 LEDs with the 2xAA battery box painted white on top. The main battery for running engine is just sitting on top for easy access. Inside is a staircase and smaller cabins with 2 large saloons.

At the end of the clip a hurricane in scale terms almost capsizes the boat.
