Earlier this week I posted a teaser on my model railroading facebook page (which you can find here) on a 3D printing project I was working on asking if anyone could guess what it was that I had on this small pallet.
I was being a little bit cheeky in that the pallet these things are stacked on isn’t HO scale, it’s actually O scale (roughly).
Here they are painted and side by side (HO scale on the right and scaled up to 200% on the left which makes it basically O scale) and finished painting so it’s much easier to make them out. You may be thinking, why pallets and it all comes down to Luke Towan’s recent video on making pallets. Just to see if it’d work I made a quick model in CAD and took some stabs at printing it. These are a bit of a challenge to print because they are so small and because there is a lot of bridging. They don’t look as good from the underside and require a bit of cleanup before painting but I think they are pretty nice. This was another project I was able to use my Vallejo Old and New wood paint set to good effect.
This is a very small sample of the ones I haven’t finished up yet, I’ll probably be working on these for a few years.

Count me in! I’ll place an order with you for HO scale pallets. Just let me know how and when to get you the money
Wow, didn’t expect to get any interest let alone this quickly 🙂 I added a contact page here https://bestsnowman.wordpress.com/contact/ just make sure you fill in an email address I can email you back with.
