Hello Ewerthon; Welcome to the group!
There are lots of possibilities using the technologies you discuss. Certainly many other minority scales like TT and HOn30 are using it, sometimes with mixed success, but still pushing the limits of the technology. I'm sure there are people on this list who can supply drawings and information from published sources, maybe supplemental field notes if needed, and can critique your 3D renderings before committing to resin. Please let us know what you are interested in doing as a project. It might be worthwhile spinning off a separate group for the actual nuts-and-bolts of the development. BTW, your English is fine. Please do sign your posts, especially to show us how you'd like to be addressed. Pieter E.
