Utilized in a plethora of settings in the Thomas and Friends television series, the green garage is the perfect building to incorporate into industrial sets. For this project, I wanted to challenge myself by straying away from my usual 3D-printed style to assemble a structure primarily out of cardboard, tape, and plastic sheeting (the only 3D printed piece was the chimney). While this building lacks sturdiness and durability as a result, I am happy I took the opportunity to experiment with using different materials.
Making of: Green Garage
The Green Garage's screen used prop (season 5 condition)
The main structure was made from cardboard and masking tape, with internal beams cut from cardboard allowing it to keep its shape
Corrugated metal plastic sheets were cut and added to the structure
Then, the building was spray painted hunter green, detailed, and weathered. Doors were added using extra pieces of cardboard
