PENYDARREN 1804 – 1:35 test

[Kriss]

I have been blessed with the opportunity to build a test model of a PENYDARREN locomotive made or more correctly 3D printed. This is a test and the model in the final version will look a little different, it will be completed with some details and corrections. The publisher of the model is the company ‘Świat z kartonu’ and the scale is 1:35. Below is a test print.

How cool, early locomotives are always so steam punk !

You've got my attention! Very cool!!!!

First cutting and gluing, the boiler is ready and the parts are missing from the print. So far everything fits perfectly.

I managed to attach more parts, as you can see in the picture there are two wire parts but they are replacements for the print parts. I swapped to speed up the build as well as to see if it could be built as a mobile version. The parts fit perfectly. And there are a few parts missing from the print again.

All the parts cut out and fitted together on the dry model. I know that you can see that not everything is in the axis of symmetry but this is just put together for the photo. The parts fit together perfectly. As I wrote earlier it goes to make a running one because I have just tested it, but as I am making a test model I have to let go of this option and make it as a steadystate model.

The reliable LEGO blocks for catching the geometry on my workshop are always at hand and Penydarren is already on the wheels thanks to them being set straight.

I have prepared the locomotive for painting here and it is already on sale on the publisher's website.

Anyone do a 1/35 Isambard Kingdom Brunel?
