Thanks chaps  :)

I think the shop will be another 'combini' type. With the success of the vending machine I think I'll do some shelves next as it'll be a damn sight quicker than making them properly (and I know how lazy I can be  lol ).

cheers

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.


You know if you ever need something made on a real printer...  :D

After seeing your Akuyaku I had a look at the Form printers and am seriously conditioning buying one  o_o

But until then you might have a pm rather soon  ;)

Please do.
 :D

Dealing with a stack of shelves to make enough for a supermarket is what has stopped me from making a start on the Hannah Montana project.
I am too damn lazy to do it too.
 ;)

If they come out half as good as that vending machine they will be genius.

Both are delightful.  8)

The shop front shouts Estate Agency to me. I can picture display boards in the window, desks inside, staff on the phone doing the hard sell, the proprietor sat at the back ..... (I'll stop before getting too carried away  :D)

Right then, finished painting a cast of the vending machine. First two piccies for show and the second two for scale. The second two also have the glass in the front which I forgot on the first two  ::)






And here is the unfinished shelf that need stacking  lol



cheers

You didn't think of pre-stacking the shelves with goodies and print it off that way? I guess the goods are pretty easy to make to go on the shelves though.

Picture of the vending machine looks great :)

It would be quicker for me to do it by hand (I'm still not great with 3d drawing yet) and there would be an element of randomness there that wouldn't be apparent in the 3d work without a lot of effort.

Why don't you get a dollhouse to live out these obsessive modelling fantasies!?  lol

Your work is very impressive. No doubt about that.

Isn't he a professional, working out his obsessive modelling fantasies for pay?

(Note: not the other kind of modelling fantasies... *Shutter-click* "Work it, come on. Look at the camera!" *Click* "I've worked with better... but not many.")
from Mr.Vampire: "It's the paintjob that makes the miniature fight harder not the size."
