Bagan station project

[Tom Haythornthwaite]

I am going to try to model an interpretation of this Burmese railway station with Tinkercad software for eventual 3D printing:



The station is at coordinates 21.154473, 94.935249 and that's metre gauge track in front.

The goal is to get it ready within a year (when I might have a space to re-start my 'Haythornthwaite & Westby Tea Railway').

Advice welcome.

Hello Tom,

That station is very impressive.  Have you worked out the dimensions for your model?  It could be compressed fairly easily without losing the character of the building and modelled in low relief if need be.  I think the roof would be an interesting challenge with all of its adornments.

If I was going to build it I would probably use styrene, although card could be an option depending on your preference (and can be very cheap if scavenged!).

Looking forward to seeing some progress - with pictures of course  :D

Edit:  sorry, I didn't realise you were going to use 3D printing!

Thanks, Russ,

Yes I think I will compress it but I don't yet know my space constraints.

I hope to post a CAD image in a bit...
