I am having some motivation and discipline issues lately, so here goes my first attempt at dealing with them, by starting a blog. Hopefully it will help. Planing to update the blog couple of times a week for now, and we will see, how it goes from there.

The first project is a railway station table for Infinity. Here is a rough layout of what i have planned.

Cool! What types or materials are you using?

Also stop posting and get modeling!*

@FearPeteySodes I am using all the materials, I can get my hands on. I have an access to a laser cutter, so I will be using HDF alot. There will be some plastic pieces (i plan to do some vacuum forming). Styrene foam will be used for hills and such. I got some Smooth-on silicone and resin delivered a couple of weeks ago, so, hopefully there will be some cast pieces as well, if I don't screw things up, that is.

Here goes the first update.
Railroad, freight platforms and first type of containers designed, cut and partially primed.

The train looks great. Is it something you bought or did you design it al yourself? If bought, let us know the seller

I do all of the designes myself. But some of the designes end up at Frontier Wargaming, at some point. So, if you are interested in any of them, cotact me directly, and we will work something out.

Those are really cool! Can't wait to see it come together!

That's a great start! Keep up the good work!

Here's a quick update. Finished the designs of the containers. Will be needing around 30 of them, to cover the table. I am in the process of making some stencils, to add some detail to the containers, after painting.



And, yes, I am thinking of making a Scorpion Express, as well

One thing if you look at Railway Yards the loading is done on a separate siding to the main line so more than one track and a set of points might be an idea.

Thanks, that might be a good idea. I'll see, if I can fit it so the table stays balanced.
