Dioramas / Re: Chamonix Mont-Blanc
Last post by Peter_T1958 - April 07, 2024, 11:37:50 AMOh, I love such strange modelling subjects! And modeling a cairn is more then unusual ...
Though the implementation is absolutely amazing. And I am looking forward to the first layers of colour!

Last post by Sami - April 07, 2024, 10:27:21 AMRuss, I found the video of Chris Froome I couldn't remember.
I finished to build the cairn and I tried to make a rocky ground. The rocky ground and cairn are not yet painted.

Last post by Stuart - April 06, 2024, 07:01:23 PMThanks Ray, Russ and Frithjof.
Frithjof - Actually I have had a pretty long term relationship with CAD systems through the years. What's new to me is the 3D printing process. Fortunately, with the advantage of on-line tutorials and the help of generous guidance from forum members such as Lawrence and Volker, the learning curve has been less steep.
Thanks for all contributions each member brings to this forum. Whether it relates directly to my particular circumstances or not, each of you provide a certain amount of inspiration to carry on and excel in this particular art form.

Starting to get back at it now, for 6 months I did not want to do anything at all, just lounged around feeling miserable.

Useful to now know the German for scrap metal too - a word I feel will be useful in my own modelling.
