I have been hibernating for the past several months, and while I was asleep, the N scale truck and trailer offerings exploded. I guess that is a...
It's about time..... now that someone makes a decent selection of trucks in N scale, I can finally get back to my trains. My truck obsession for...
of course since Shapeways has a handling fee of $5 for every file that they print, just simply design these in "100 packs" and the cost per detail...
here's my latest. A Peterbilt 389 with stretched frame, rear fenders, and custom rear taillight bar. And, my 53' reefer design is...
I am finding that a can of Rustoleum works well for the cabs. It's easy and quick, and I can paint outside when it is cold, as long as the can is...
Here's my first Peterbilt 386 out of the paint shop: [img] [img] [img] HuskerN www.nscaleaddiction.blogspot.com
Here's my first pair of pickup trucks out of the paint shop. The camera always highlights flaws and details I missed like taillights. These...
I decided to design a modern 53' reefer trailer recently, as I figured if I didn't, I would grow to a ripe old age before anyone else did. I...

after being idle for what seems like years, I am getting back at my 3d modeling projects. This time I am working on a crewcab Silverado, that is...
I already updated my design, and ordered a new pair. that is the great part about design. HuskerN
I use good ole' Rustoleum from a rattle can. Nothing fancy. HuskerN
I have my own wheels and tires for all of my trailers, but I would imagine that the Trainworx axles would work on these. I am using a piece of...
I could have a lot of fun with the innuendos here, but truth of the matter is that I made my UPS 28' pup trailer 6 inches too short (in height)!...
I have had items soaking in Bestine for a couple weeks as I forgot about them. Didn't seem to bother the models at all. I usually try 24 hours...
I haven't tried anything but Bestine, but have soaked hundreds of models to date. It works well. I have lots of photos on my blog of 3d printing...
I always put casters on my layouts for easy moving, but this time they came with a tool box attached. [img] [img] [img] [img]...
Here's a completed trio: [img] [img] [img] HuskerN www.nscaleaddiction.blogspot.com
thanks for the feedback guys. I just wish I had more time to do more models, and be able to create all of the configurations that people need....
The nice part about 3d design and printing is that if I wanted a day cab (which I do), I can simply alter my design and it is ready for printing....
