This week I'm looking at how to model tarmac/asphalt using silicon carbide grit. It's a really easy method.

Hi there. It's me again looking for help with my Open University course. This time it is part of the course that I am doing called - "Web, Cloud and Mobile Technologies"! As part of my last assignment (the mobile part - or Cell phone to the US), I have to propose a new app. The idea is that I compare it to other apps that do a similar thing and say where mine has differing functionality. I don't have to create the app, just write about the functions and  show some "wire frames".

This blog post will chronicle my adventures with using foamcore for mock-ups and the backdrop.

I learned quite a bit about the capabilities of my less than $300 3D printer while working on the stockyard/feed lot project. So I decided to try designing & printing the passenger waiting room that will sit over the tracks. I was originally going to scratch build it from styrene (not my best talent) but felt that the 3D printer might be the right tool to accomplish this task.  The first picture shows the mockup of the building that was done last year that was used as a guide.  I also reviewed some pictures of the actual KC Union Station (not shown).
