I take it you drive a Subaru?

Love this project I can't believe that I missed it for so long...

Please do a workshop tutorial on your techniques for lighting.

Really good to see Copplestone minis too - especially ones lavished with such a delightful environment.

Wow  :-*

The office foyer reminds me of a scene from 'Black Rain'.

Stunning James. You versatile devil, you  ;)

He drives a Smart car...
(True but incredible, given that he's about 6' 4" ::))

I think you'll find I don't drive a Smart car anymore (my wife has it and I'm also 6,5")  ;D

I have a Lexus, which is also a Japanese car  ;)

Cheers for the translation Paul  :)

That reception area looks the nuts, mate.
As do the lighting effects.
 :-* :-*

As for the Smart Car: I have seen him get into it.
It brought back visions of the Federation Droids 'unfolding' in those crap Star Wars prequels.
Only in reverse..... ;D

You're not funny you know  ;D

Two Japanese companies, http://my-craft.jp and http://arranger.jp

Not cheap but certainly worth it. I haven't looked to see if there is anything similar in the UK or Europe yet.

Got a little update for this project for the time being and I'll be back on it more next month.

Firstly we have a vending machine that I drew in Rhino and printed on our filament printer at work. Not bad resolution really, only the front needed a bit of a sand. The coin slot failed on the print (too much small detail) and so I made it from styrene instead. It's in a mould box now and I'll be chaning the original file to make some different ones.




Also I've made a start on another building but just made the lower floor for now. Needs some furniture when I decide what sort of shop it is.




I also started to draw up a subway station whilst I was away but it'll be a while before that sees any construction. I'll do a screen shot if anyone is interested?

cheers

Nice. Printers are great for scenery pieces like that. I created a fairly nice bookshelf from mine.

Dead sexy.

As to what sort of shop... Once you print out some furniture, it'll be a furniture shop, of course.  lol
