Planning a better lasercut turntable
Drew up the cad files then did a test rendering to make sure it all fits together this one will use a slip ring for power to the rails and thankfully planning wise fit together perfectly!
More Diorama Photos
Here's my as of know best piece of scenery ever in person it looks amazing but sadly due to its small (and kinda odd) shape it's hard to get some good photos on it but heres the best of the bunch
Found a 3d printed pinvise
Since a pin vise is a tool most any modeller will need i've been looking for a file to 3d print one since I don't have cash but do have a free 3d printer I decided that would be the best bet. I know some modellers on here have 3d printers too so I thought I would share the link to one I found: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758815/files

Starting in Scratchbuilding What to Buy?
Planning on going to the hobby shop soon to pick up some styrene and such to build some simple structures any recommendations of what to pick up? If the shop has some I'll get some doors and windows and use those as inspiration for the build. Thanks for whatever advice you guys can give!
