Re: Please help me draw a triangle

Glad you like it. However, I do consider this to be 'set dressing' rather than actual modelling. You guys should see some of the scenic tracks that are out there. They'd blow your minds. These buildings aren't based on any one place in particular. As I mentioned before, the roof panels are based on ...

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

I just thought you might like to see the results of this project put together. I still need to finish the interior for the office, and I have just ordered some LEDs to add interior lighting. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4185/33784232003_252c95088b_c.jpg IMG_20170511_131304 by stoooo , on Flickr htt...

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

With the best will in the world, these things always take longer than you hope they will. I finally cut out and applied the last bit of roof today, and put the two buildings together for the first time. Keep in mind that they are the top floor of a two storey building, as there will be a pit box und...

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Most of what I'm using for decoration is downloaded from other sources and can be used with little or no modification. There are a few very talented people out there making some excellent paper models in the correct scale, and I can't thank them enough for giving the...

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

Apologies for not getting back here sooner. I have finally started to put this together after a few weeks away from it. So, as promised, here are pictures of what I was trying to do. Firstly, this is the item in question, a Carrera VIP Floor, which will eventually live by the pit lane on my Scalextr...

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

There's another bend at the points where the triangle meets the main section. The ends are going to be flat to go under a piece of plastic, then the roof rises just in the middle section. When I get it built, I'll come back and post a picture of the final result. If it comes out anything like your 3...

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

Yes. The eaves are about 3cm high to match another part of the roof. I was looking for an interesting shape that made the roof *not* flat, but not so steep that it looked out of place or blocked the view. It's cool that what you found by accident is what I was actually going for :) How did you do it?

Re: Please help me draw a triangle

As far as I can tell, this has worked to within 0.1mm. Since I am cutting these out by hand, I think that's about as tight of a tolerance as I need. Thanks again for the inspiration. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8718/28179805782_052890ff14_o.png Circles by stoooo , on Flickr Now to take care of the...

Please help me draw a triangle

Hello. I have been a casual user of Inkscape for many years, mostly for text effects. Lately, I have been finding it invaluable in my efforts to decorate my slot car track with papercraft buildings. This has been pushing me to use parts of the program I haven't needed before. In most cases, I have f...
