NZ120 DC/DA/DBR Bogie Side frames Arrive

Ordered in Frosted Ultra Detail, and arrived just today are the new DC/DA/DBR bogie side frames.

Also will be available in Polished/Unpolished Brass for weight on the loco right where you want it!

The overall quality of the print is perfect, with cleaning up using toothbrush and paste under running water enabling me to produce reliable & clean models everytime. Although this trick works best for Frosted Ultra Detail.

HDR goodness, crisp detail! Now painting and attaching to the SD-7 Truck.

The DC/DAR/DA/DBR bogie sideframes, now uploaded to shapeways.

To serve as an affordable extra, we've all got DA/DC classes that require some extra detail im sure!

After at test print passes, I shall make em available here

I'm unsure how exactly to account for time, time is the most precious thing I have after all. And some days seem to pass with seemingly no traction to be found, although small goals set in the right order can see a good return on the "time" investment.

Many other projects on the go, but one worth mentioning is the Ganz, ET-EM class. Some bogies & undergrubbins later a test print can be ordered!

A quick post showing a little bit of progress with the current NZ120 DBR design, as in the bogies at least.
