Model making : poles in scale 1:87
Description
Being member of a model railway club, I was asked if I could make a 3D design of an existing iron construction situated in Westerlo, Belgium. We rebuild the centre of the village in scale 1:87 (HO). At that period (1913) there was still a steam and diesel tram railway. This iron construction was a central eye-catcher on the village square. It supported a typical tree 'een lindeboom' (or a lime tree if I can believe google translator :-) ) found in many villages in my region. So also the village Westerlo did have his specimen. More information and photographs : https://www.mscdekempen.be (dutch site). Search on Westerlo. I did build the model exactly in scale 1:1 in Blender. The STL files are transformed to scale 1:87, but printing them in PLA revealed that it was impossible to hold the exact scale, even when printed in resin. So I modified the designs to be able to print them. They are still acceptable in the 1:87 scale. - all the files with the word 'extended' are changed and not more on scale 1:1 like in reality. These are the ones I used to print in scale 1:87. - for people working in other scales, I added the original designs. From there you can make your own scaled stl files. In bigger scales, it is printable in PLA. Important remark : in scale 1:87 it was for my printer imposible to print in PLA, so I used a online website to let them print using another technology (Formlabs Standard Resin)! PS : on the picture with the lime tree, you see horizontal beams connecting the poles, these are standard beams you can buy in specialized hobby retail stores.
