Ken, you're the best. I'm watching you from the U Of U ICU Burn unit. I'll be here for awhile, but this is my show of choice that's on the top of my list! Love you gentlemen! Stay healthy!
Mike Budde , Once again very nice job on these police vehicles. I continue to be so impressed by your work. In particular the breath of projects you handle. Keep up the good work. Your friend ROGER
3D resin printing is such a great advantage. There are some learning curves, but once you're tuned in you'll be amazed what you can print. It's also perfect for all the small overpriced details you need, barrels, fences, ladders, etc.. and SO many free files out there.
Another Great Show! The Segment About The 3-D Printers By James Was Very Informative! Thanks..James! I Love Mike's Segment About The Police Vehicles! Thanks Mike! Thanks For The Shout Out My Former Employer: Chrysler..St. Louis Assembly Plant..Fenton,Missouri. I Had 20 Years With Chrysler..Plant #1 South. This Is "The Greatest Hobby In The World" Till Next Time! MoPac Jack Rock N' Roll Be Safe!
That container ferry you talked about looks like one of many coastal ships that would go back and forth to the many smaller ports,and the ramp at the end suggest that it can accommodate vehicles as well as containers..on a side note Walther's also came out with a container crane similar to the kibri crane shown on the show..
Just got a Resin printer 3 weeks ago. Learned a lot really fast - have had some awesome results. Suggest anyone thinking about it watch some CZcams vids first - fastest way to learn. And most importantly understand the dangers of handling resin! It’s nasty stuff!
Lots to like with that Ultra. Higher resolution prints and fewer parts to replace are benefits for sure. I hope they develop a version with a print volume comparable to the Mono X.
Another great show everyone, James awesome job explaining the 3D printers. I know you've only scratched the surface but at least it's a beginning. Maybe there's hope for my E J & E Baldwin Center Cab project yet. Thanks James.
After digital 3d printing gonna be the biggest thing for model railway and when 3d scanners get cheaper even bigger. You will be able to duplicate items yourself instead of buying overpriced items from shops. Some train supply manufacturers would have to be starting to get nervous.
I think of consumer level 3D printing and scanning technology as complementary to what train supply manufacturers offer. Scanning and perfecting and perfecting a 3D mesh takes a fair amount of time and effort. The relative fragility of resin does not loan itself well to detail parts such as grab irons, photo etched grills, steps, etc. The economics of 3D printing simply do not scale competitively with styrene model production. At least not yet. So far, 3D printing is great to make those one-off models and small layout details. Not so much for making yet another C44-9W, F-unit, or SD40-2. If I were a big manufacturer, I would probably be paying attention to trends and demands. If certain models of one-off prototypes seem to be drawing disproportionate interest, it might make sense to start acquiring the files to build tooling for mass production.
There are quite a few tutorials out there for Blender, and I have made frequent use of them in creating my own models. At some point, I'll do a start-to-finish video of a small 3D project that incorporates many of the basic techniques.
The steam generator car? Yes. Very nicely done. Have you been following the SD45-2 they are restoring to the Santa Fe bicentennial paint it wore out of the factory?
Love the tug and barge. Being a St. Louisan myself, I’d love to one day build a barge/levee/grain operation. Good work!
Ken, you're the best. I'm watching you from the U Of U ICU Burn unit. I'll be here for awhile, but this is my show of choice that's on the top of my list! Love you gentlemen! Stay healthy!
Sorry to hear that, Brad! I’m glad we can help you feel a little better.
Thanks for the shout-out! It was nice to "meet" you on the Zoom chat!

Thank you very much, Roger!
I would like to see more of his Telcom line trucks. Great photo in RMC Boomer Trail.
Thank you, David! I haven’t seen that yet! I’ve showed the Bell trucks on earlier podcasts but maybe I can bring them again sometime soon

Mike Budde you amaze me on your models, incredible. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Gary!
Ken & WNTW crew~,
Cambell Rice Excellent camera work this week. Nice proper close ups~ That was sooo neat. Good show all! Thanx Thom...

The best thing to scale from if building the ship is the containers as they are a known dimension!
Resin printers are the preferred way to go for items of model railroader scale. Much finer detail.

Yes. There is definitely a steep learning curve to resin printing. Leveling, fep film, support placement, to name a few, are all factors.
Great show with a lot of information. Thanks to James.
Anycubic will come with the Photon Ultra soon.
Lots to like with that Ultra. Higher resolution prints and fewer parts to replace are benefits for sure. I hope they develop a version with a print volume comparable to the Mono X.
Great work on the police "apparatus" Mike!
Thanks, Bill. I forgot to mention that you were responsible for the fine decal work.
@@mikebudde2570 nope, you definitely gave me a nice shout out. All good even if you didn't Cheers!
@@pdcweb I couldn’t remember doing it, lol.

Ken what a great upload today enjoyed it very much.
Lots of good information on 3D printing.
Excellent show as always!
Great show everybody.
Great show as usual. Thanks.
Mikes shirt made me laugh. Guess he’s been compromised😂
Great show as always! Learning every week appreciate the hard work, thx
3d printing is the only way us Southern fans can get a HO scale verison of The Best Friend of Charleston which is the birth of Southern Railroad
Excellent informative video 👍😁😁😁😁😁🚂🇬🇧
Scale Sound Systems speaker’s enclosures have a lot of lines but you can’t see them inside the shell of the engine

Omg love the free Brittany shirt great show all
HELLO KEN ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL THANKS KEN FRIENDS RANDY
Can James do a video on how to draw on the BLENDER program,
There are quite a few tutorials out there for Blender, and I have made frequent use of them in creating my own models. At some point, I'll do a start-to-finish video of a small 3D project that incorporates many of the basic techniques.
@@jamesregier8463 Thank You. I look forward to your video.
That b unit would look good with all my 1776 stuff.🚂🚃🚃🇨🇦🇺🇸
The steam generator car? Yes. Very nicely done. Have you been following the SD45-2 they are restoring to the Santa Fe bicentennial paint it wore out of the factory?
Do you have a Union Pacific e-9 951? (That's my favorite train)
