Saloon Window etched edges and toilet 'glass'

 I have been experimenting with what I could print with the Ghost white toner in my laser printer for the last couple of years. I have been trying to get a transfer for the inside of saloon windows to simulate the frosting/etching of such asa shown in this photo..


I don't know why it took so long to think about printing on laser transparency film I used to use years ago for overhead projectors. I found some and tried printing some designs from 2018.



Very difficult to photograph! These are 7mm versions as I have a dia 21 on the go at the moment.
I shall do further experiments and print some for particular carriages and then make them available via E.B.Models.  Later on in 2023. Hopefully show the completed saloon first.
Cheers, Ian

Thomas Potter masterpiece uses E B Models, 7mm etches, 3D printed parts, numberplates, lining and name transfers

 Thomas Potter published these pictures last week on Facebook. He has built the 7mm Grosvenor etches, used the 3D resin printed parts for the loco and tender then painted it and finished it off using EB Models numberplate, name and lining transfers.

Fantastic to see someone putting them all together! Many thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Ian



In the meantime, I am still experimenting with 3D printing and have recently printed this early Pullman. More in the next few months.
