Announcement: A new? innovation in paper modelling

PavløvA_YT


I have invented a new idea...

Often, the first time I release a model, there are huge inaccuracies. The trigonometry I use to design the curves in models does not take into account things like glue expansion, cardboard thickness, etc. Hence, the models often have flaws in their design, which necessitate replacement of the entire carriage.


All new models of mine will have a separate front piece, and separate detail areas, so that, if inaccuracies occur (which they do -- take the VR Series Sm2 as an example), you need only to print replacements of the affected part. 
 
This arose out of a need for an easily modifiable model of the Mark 4 S-Tog, as no design is perfect first try. So, I made the S-Tog's front detachable. This has allowed for replacement fronts to be easily made (it will soon receive a new front design).
The Mark 4 S-Tog prototype was the first of my models to have this feature. 
I am just trialing this, if you do not like it, I can go back to the ways of old, feedback is a help, as always...

  1. “as no design is perfect first try” I couldn't agree more. This phrase deserves to be framed.

    1. Yes, it does deserve to be framed, all of my designs had flaws the first time I published them, my IC3 front was too short, V1 S-Tog had huge flaws, original MI2N crimson, etc.
