Hello from Cardiff!

Hi folks,

My current project is making highly-detailed 3D-printable models of cabinets. I've joined the forum to try and get some photos/clarification on some of the details that aren't in the service
Hi folks,

Welcome. Sounds like an interesting project. Much anticipation. Some of the classic electromechanical cabinets like Sea Wolf with a moving periscope would be cool.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!
got any pics of your printed models
Not yet - I'm still trying to decide how to put the graphics on the models. Here's the cad model of a generic cabinet (it was easy to get the blueprints) and a WIP shot:

For a sense of scale, this model is 155mm tall. There are also some missing details which I'm not too worried about for *this* model as it was more a test than anything. I wanted something the right scale for a 30MM Gunpla diorama lol. The cut out is for swapping in different button / stick layouts which will have to be done on a resin 3D printer due to the fine details.

I will take a Wonderboy cab if you done one ?
I'd be interested in giving it a go! I'm currently working on a SEGA Rally 2 twin which has taken most of my free time lately. Modelling the seat has been a real pain but hopefully I can get that finished quickly now I'm here.
