Well, it's about time we hit you all with an update.Following on from May, when we worked around the clock to get our model ready for physical display, not much occurred. Life has been pretty busy. Most of my time has been spent on wedding planning and then actually getting married!😁A few weeks after, I opened the model and started to play around with a few pieces. I wanted to continue on with where I left off with the work on the pieces I optimised for 3D print. This meant constructing the section where the main station building joined the western screen wall, and also where the public footbridge passes through. The arch above the opening reflects the wider arches on the main frontage where vehicles passed through, with details of the arch embedded into the wall as we've now concluded. The plans suggest the walls of the main building were flush with the footbridge opening, which meant extensive alterations to the model. What this investigation proved was that I was working with a small margin of error for measurements. With the wall moved along, it shifts the entire screen wall, and ends up altering the booking hall and the panelling I'd already settled on. Naturally, the only solution was to go back, map out the entire steelwork foundation of the building and piece it all together, then dropping it into the model and seeing how it interacts with the masonry. What followed was a complete reconstruction of areas of the public footbridge, the connecting gangway between the two footbridges and the entire fish dock and approach. I've also now worked out that the ground sloped down from Milton St to the footbridge with masonry and details reflecting the style of the main building. This has helped map everything out, BUT, there's still areas that don't make sense. The cantelever girders are causing a lot of confusion. Some plans suggest that there was a 6 inch gap between the girders and floor joists of the footbridge (inside the train shed), meaning the walkways were suspended above the girders with no contact. While other details on the same plans (the footbridge over the fish dock) suggest the joists rested upon them. The footbridges were all at the same level, so this has contradictory suggestions. As usual, this is all a work in progress, and getting carried away has been all too easy. Hoping progress can continue a bit more in the next little while! ... See MoreSee Less

“Victoria Station Remembered Exhibition” – A 3D-Printed Tribute Returns HomeNottingham, UK – We are thrilled and honoured to announce that our meticulously crafted 3D-printed model of Nottingham Victoria Station will feature in the special exhibition marking the 125th anniversary of the station’s grand opening. Curated by Janine Tanner, the display brings to life a station that once stood proudly on this very site.From Saturday 31 May through Friday 6 June, visitors can see our model in the lower mall, outside Next and Boots. The result of over seven years of dedicated research, the model reflects our passion for preserving local heritage and our excitement at sharing this landmark’s story with everyone who passes through the Victoria Centre.When we were first provided with the opportunity to exhibit a model of the station building, we first thought about finishing off and shipping Ash's resin model from Canada, however this wouldn’t be practical due to both time, logical and financial reasons. So instead we opted for Richard to print Ash’s files on his 3D filament printer, though it isn’t as good quality as resin, it meant we were able to deliver the model in just 4 weeks. This was great as we both worked together to get the parts printed, solve issues and Ash even worked out issues we hadn’t resolved before. We extend our deepest gratitude to Janine Tanner for this opportunity and to everyone who supported us along the way. Please note that this is very much a work in progress—some edges remain a little raw—and we look forward to further refining the model in the months ahead and finishing off the interior details.Join us in celebrating the “Victoria Station Remembered Exhibition” and step back in time to rediscover a beloved piece of Nottingham’s heritage.Exhibition Details -Title: Victoria Station Remembered ExhibitionLocation: Lower Mall, outside Next / Boots, Victoria Centre, NottinghamDates: Saturday 31 May – Friday 6 June 2025Curator: Janine Tanner ...
