Italian tipical Building

[carraccio]

Hi, i'm Davide from Italy.
I show you some pictures of my work, a typical italian small station:

Now it’s missing just some details, among others signs, the top of the chimney, the civic numbers and the drainpipes.

I hope you enjoy it. here you can find all the news www.plastico.bg.it

thanks a lot and sorry for my English

Davide from Itay - Your English is just fine and your work speaks for itself. Welcome to the forum. Interesting to see what can be done with a device like that. I like that you made such a quaint structure using such technology.

 

[carraccio]

Thanks a lot Gary,
i bought this device just 2 weeks ago, so this is the first attempt.
now I'm trying to build a little train depot and a station sidewalk, i hope will be good.

The model looks fantastic, but I really like the roof! Did you use a wrap around the building to hide the seams? Again, great model!!

Looks great! Can't wait to see more.

 

[carraccio]

The first building is finished

now, i'm working on the second building

and i'm trying to make the first station platforms with typical Italian tile

Davide, it looks great, but as Ianacole asked a few weeks ago--how do you get from the basic shape to the finished product? That's from the 2nd to the 3rd picture in your first posting.

Makes me feel like I'm right back in Italy riding the rails across the country.

Looks really nice!

Thank you, everybody.

some short answers:

@ Ianacole - yes i use to wrap around the building to hide the seams, it's a thin cardboard of different colors

in my website there is also a part in English http://www.plastico.bg.it/en/
but is usually updated with some delay, sorry

@ Frankieboy - I bought the lasermachine in Las Vegas (Nevada) http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/ and here you can find all prices

greetings from Bergamo (north of Italy, near Milan)

Another small update
I made the first concrete fence, typical of the Italian State Railways

Meanwhile I am continuing the construction of sidewalks

did the laser machine do the intricate work for the sidewalks?

And what does that machine cost? There is a station near my home town that I would love to do just like you built that house/station.

 

[carraccio]

Yes Steve, it did the "intricate" work.

How long did it take the machine to make that first building?
