    I love this channel but lately instead of building things it's just "I 3D printed this". I understand the fidelity is much higher and quality of the result is better but that's not what put me in awe first time I saw videos here. It's also not the thing I show people. Making a barn with corrugated iron which was made from tin foil and then etched to look aged took skill and knowledge, not extrude this profile click print.

    @BoulderCreekRailroad Since your making ho scale models from TV shows.

Thomas & Friends was a TV show filmed with working model trains for the first 12 seasons. There is a 3D printable body shell for Thomas in ho scale available for free that you could use for this project by The_lbsc_thomas.

    It all looks good but I feel like all the channels like this that build dioramas start to become less achievable overtime. In the beginning, everything is as scratch build as you can get, but then becomes all cnc and 3d printing. All of my favorite builders like this one have gone this way and I feel like there's no art in it anymore, just like models to assemble from the store. I know there's hate coming but not everyone has thousands to spend on equipment
