Printing guide.
The quality of the finished model depends on the print quality as much as your building skills, most of the models in the photographs were printed at 'better' quality on an inkjet printer on 310 gsm card ( apart from the 0 gauge models )
Printing
Do not let the computer re-size the pages, print out at 100% unless you want to re-scale the model. Print quality and colours depend on your printers settings.
O Gauge
The best way to print out the 0 gauge models is to print out on paper and glue to 480 gsm card or better. I use a glue stick for this as it allows you to line up the sheets accurately.
Printing on card
For the 00 and H0 models you can print directly onto card, most printers will take card up to 320 gsm but check your printers manual first. You can also print onto paper and glue it to card.
Printing out the clear window templates
For inkjet printers use inkjet transparency film ( available on the high street ).
For laser printers use clear film.
