Tips, Tricks, Techniques & Tools / Re: Large scale NBW’s?
Last post by Lawrence@NZFinescale - April 12, 2026, 12:51:08 PMNBWs are the very easiest things to draw, print (and, if desired, cast).
Personally I wouldn't consider a commercial offering unless they were EXACTLY what I wanted.
While cast brass is possible it's extremely expensive relative to printed. Easy to do in low numbers though. White metal is feasible too, but economic only if you want a LOT.
I can certainly do such things. Not that I'm looking for that sort of work, but I can help in cases of difficulty.
