Over the course of the original model series of Thomas and Friends several small structures were used as background buildings to help build a detailed environment. My goal for this project was to loosely replicate the small huts from the fourth season in my own style. During these building’s creation I was surprised to find that I had already tried to make one of the them from memory years earlier, allowing for me to compare and see how far my modeling abilities have come!

Making of: Trackside Huts
The Trackside Huts' screen used props (season 4 condition)
I unfortunately don't have any photos of this hut during construction due to it being a quick build, however the process was simple. It was 3D printed, assembled, painted, roofed, and weathered.

Just as the other hut, this was a fast project thus I unfortunately don't have any other photos of the construction. The build process was the same as the other hut
