OO Scale Workshop – 3D Print

I needed something to break up the expanse of brick wall on the side of the Diorama. A few weeks ago I had 3D printed a low-relief warehouse which I didn’t end up using.

After a bit of faffing about with some cardboard to get the dimensions right, I came up with the idea of turning the warehouse into a OO Scale Workshop to place on the rail yard diorama. 

The original 3D print was only about 25mm deep. 

So I had to create new roof panels and the north light glazed section. 

I 3D printed 3 sections for the OO Scale Workshop and spray painted them brick red. I will need to tone down the colour a bit. 

The back wall of the workshop is not going to be visible, so instead of using up a lot of plastic filament to print the wall, I created a version of the wall in Inkscape and sent the file to the Laser Cutter which was cut out in 2mm plywood. 

Here it is painted grey. I painted it on this side because you will be able to see the inside through the windows. 

Below you can see the brick wall after I had toned the red paint down with a mix of grey and beige paint forced into the mortar joins then wiped off the brick face. Finally, I used weathering powders to create a varied look to the brickwork. 

Test fitting the roof sections.  For the North Lights I used the Laser Cutter and for the roof section, I 3D printed.
