Looks like a derelict farm building?

That’s no way to describe my J15.

No, it's a free STL file I found online. All I needed to do was correct the scale. Its actually a fraction underscale now as it wouldn't fit in the printer so the farmer would have had to duck his head going through the door. Should still work towards the rear of the layout.
It was a 19 hour print - longest and largest I've tried so far.

At least you don’t have to watch all the time as it prints.

True. I started it off yesterday morning, topped up the resin reservoir before I went to bed and it was ready for washing and curing first thing this morning. It will take longer to paint it.

It’s yet to be set into the landscape, but at least I’ve finished painting the 3D printed cottage.

Oh yes, I like that very much, very realistic.

Kind regards Peter M

That looks very good indeed - brilliant piece of work. I think there would be a market for that building?
