count-cinnamon:Y’all really seemed to like the other one so I made another one to show off a bit more detail. Clearly lighting isn’t my strong suit but I’m an engineering student not a vfx artist.I’ll let you in on my little project: I actually modelled the train in CAD as part of a passion project / business adventure I’ve planned out on paper, but not sure about investing in.I want to make a resin-cast motorized toy train set. It’ll be in HO guage, which is the most popular model railway track width so the train will be compatible commercially available tracks and accessories. The master copies will be SLA printe; silicone moulds and two part resin will be used to make durable and colored copies which will fit on top of commercial model train parts. I’ll model the wheels and integrate it with the design once I get those commercial parts for measurements.I’ve found bulk sources for parts and supplies and calculated a retail price for each Engine to be USD$36.5 and each car to be USD$20, if I can sell at least 20 of each (I can sell them for less if a huge number of people are interested). And I’ll be able to make subsequent batches for almost half the price because I already have the silicone moulds.If you’re interested pls dm and/or reblog. If enough people show interest, I’ll start an etsy store. Suggestions, questions and criticism also welcome in dms. And ofc I’d love to also send a set to the Infinity Train team to keep in their office or something (if the show gets continued). -- source link
