Hi All
Well Finally there is some news of the train build, I have now completed the build just in time for the one train to be gifted to my Dad.
Here is a some photos.
As a whole the build has been quite interesting in that comparing the build of the two trains there is a few things that have shown in the build.
1: quality of the models, if you want to have a model that shows detail in the art work, then laser is the way to go, BUT the down side is when you bend and fold quality goes out the door.
2: in terms of gluing and bonding, laser does need a bit longer to harden as the glue does not bond straight away.
3: This may be more on a personal side, but with the laser I found that the laser dust that come off the prints did get a bit on the painfully side as you needed to wip the dust from the model print before building as to keep the build clean.
would I build a model with laser again maybe but not a model with lots of small detailed parts, simple quick very low count of folds yes.
