3D Printing an Ultra-Realistic Model of My House - Realistic Scenery Vol.19

[@marviveedee7198]

Much easier to maintain the yard at that scale .

[@EpicLightMedia]

I wish I had these skills. It must take so much experience to get to this level...you have done so much work over the years that you know exactly what you’re doing it seems.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

It's just practice, the techniques I used to build and paint this model aren't to complex though. I'm sure even a beginner with the right tools could achieve similar results 😀

[@Chef_PC]

“Mowing” the lawn with your beard trimmer. That must have been satisfying.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... you wouldn't believe how satisfying that was! When I added the static grass and saw all those unwanted longer fibers I thought "Oh NO" and I pictured myself with tweezers spending hours plucking tiny grass fibers! It wasn't until I woke up the next day and started trimming my beard that I got the idea 🤔

You know what else is cool about that is you could seal trimmings in place on the lawn, so it actually looks like it was freshly mowed and there's mulch scattered about. Or make a big pile of it to create a compost pile.

You could use little solarpanels from cheap calculators :P have your diorama produce it's own miniature power

[@_GreenSkies_]

That's such a cool idea. I wonder if those little panels could ever be strong enough to light up an LED or if you'd need like 500 of them? 🤷‍♀️

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ha ha that actually is so cool! yeah I wonder if you could power an LED... I think it's time for an experiment

[@sabre0smile]

@@BoulderCreekRailroad Some of the less cheap calculators come with little power management circuits that charge the onboard battery when the calculator isn't in use. If you can get your hands on one of those, you could drop that on the roof and replace the 'calculator' part with the light.

@Manuel Santos one part isn't a fixed amount. It refers to the ratio. So, in this case, one part mod podge three parts water means a 1:3 ratio. For example for 100ml of the scenic glue its 25 ml of mod podge and 75ml of water plus the dish soap (It could also be by weight and not volume).

We've added gardens, small outbuildings, and plan to get some goats and chickens, but we will keep the majority forested and let it do its thing. There's a new project every year (last year it was the Pergola we got married in). I'd love to model the property, display it in our living room, and modify the model as we and the kids undertake new projects. This is quite helpful. Cheers!

[@marklandsaat3696]

Adding a tiny chamfer to the model where it attaches to the build plate will help to reduce or eliminate flashing. The printer can easily handle a 45 degree overhang. If you get the dimensions right you’ll be left with a perfectly square edge after removing from the build plate. Another amazing models by the way 👍

[@IMRROcom]

Funny that you are doing that, I’m doing 3D models of all the homes I grew up in for a street on my N scale layout.

@@BoulderCreekRailroad Yes, I think that is the goal most of the house can be done in 1 go from the ground up. Width of the build plate is fine it is the depth will give me a small issue.
