I will show everything from my working through to completion for the water road block.

I hate my drawings as I am not very good at it unless I spend hours and hours this is not a natural talent but a means to an end in this case so please save your judgements.

I find when using 3D design tools only a lot of time is wasted “thinking” before trying to get the software to do what you envision.

For me not being very proficient in the tools I am using, it’s beneficial to have a plan before I open up the software. I often do very quick sketches I have found these are not normally detailed enough. I have a weird head thing with black on white so sketching on white paper is difficult I lose focus and quite often give up in longer sessions. It’s the same with reading which is why I read on my kindle with white text and black background.

The great thing was I drew a rough plan for this on Friday night. 3d Designed this on Saturday morning and printed and painted in the afternoon. Quite odd thinking about something, going to sleep and having it in your hand within 24 hours. That’s probably quicker than most delivery services and faster than I can make a decisions on spending money on models.

Sketch and finished model.

3D model done in fusion 360

3D Print removed from sprue/supports and cleaned in alcohol.

Primed, note the texture on the centre section was deliberate and ment to look reflective.

Drybrushed the centre in white so give a reflective texture and basked then spreayed orange.

Hand painted the black and high lighted and washed with brown leaving the mask on

Masking removed and then matt varnished. Finished.

I don’t think this is ground breaking but this is the workflow I am following with the 3D printer. I am trying not to just print a large amount of unpainted grey.

The model is simple but then so is the object. I think any more detail would be to much hence the removal of the list that I stated MUST HAVE! These will look great on my infinity table and should give a good narrative to why there are no vehicles going down roads mid play. Also not something I have seen you can buy which makes me happy.

More to come next is barrels but not as detailed on the process as this could get dull fast 🙂

More to come.
