GRESLEY COACH BUFFET CAR TUBULAR STEEL SEATS (x24) - LNER (OO Gauge 4mm scale)

This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin.

The photo shows examples of the items as you will receive them, before any clean up and one cleaned up ready for fitting.

The kit comprises of 24 tubular steel seats (enough parts to complete one Gresley Buffet Car)

These are genuine photos taken with a full frame 35mm SLR and not digital representations. You simply need to remove the support pips from the rear of the seat with snips and gently sand them smooth with fine emery paper. They will then fit nicely into an Ian Kirk buffet car (or perhaps another Gresley buffet coach kit of your choice) and add in some very important and hard to create details.

Each seat will need to be removed from its backing plate using sprue cutters. This is best done by first cutting the 9 outer supports close to the plate. Then cut the other end of those 9 supports from the chair frame. Finally, the sprue cutters can be pushed between the base and the chair to cut the final two supports from behind the centre frame, releasing the chair from the backing plate. Once the backing plate is removed, then the sprue cutters can be used again to tidy up the back of the frame and if required, final sanding can be completed with some fine emery paper.

Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos.

These parts were commissioned by someone who saw the O gauge versions and dared me to try and make this in 4mm!! Even I was surprised at how well they turned out and so here they are... an almost impossible item in 4mm scale.
