I am thinking of replicating old model train parts (4mm/OO gauge). NOTE : I am aware that there may be copyright issues involved but let us leave that aside for the moment. I want to know how good the current scanners are. Edited By Brian John on 17/10/2016 18:11:45 Edited By Brian John on 17/10/2016 18:14:12

[sorry, I lost interest when I found out it was Windows based] Here is an Australian supplier: LINK http://3dprintersuperstore.com.au/collections/3d-scanners/products/david-laserscanner-starter-kit MichaelG.
