TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.   To watch an introductory video click here.   See the User Guide at Bexhill West.

  • The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.

    For an updated overview of this project see this topic.   For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.

    The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.

    Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne.

Another Templot antidote -- paint a backscene for your layout.

Bob Ross makes it look so easy and relaxing. Over 90 episodes available online:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000txym

"American painter Bob Ross creates a cold day warmed by daylight's radiance, as he paints a quiet mountain masterpiece with a beautiful lake in a glen that will leave you rested and at peace with the world.

Bob offers soothing words of encouragement to viewers and painting hobbyists in an enormously popular series that has captivated audiences worldwide since 1982. Ross is a cult figure, with nearly two million Facebook followers and 3,000 instructors globally. His soothing, nurturing personality is therapy for the weary, and his respect for nature and wildlife helps heighten environmental awareness.

Across the series, Ross demonstrates his unique painting technique, which eliminates the need for each layer of paint to dry. In real time, he creates tranquil scenes taken from nature, including his trademark ‘happy’ clouds, cascading waterfalls, snow-covered forests, serene lakes and distant mountain summits. Many of Bob’s faithful viewers are not painters at all - they are relaxing and unwinding with Bob’s gentle manner and encouraging words, captivated by the magic taking place on the canvas."

Martin.

For reference, the family of the late Bob Ross gifted all his broadcasts to anyone and everyone and they are all available on youtube free of charge. I believe there is also a website hosting them directly.

Not only a very talented painted and teacher, but seemingly a generous and kind individual too.
