Starting in the second season, the Thomas and Friends television series used a myriad of overhead sheds to give more variety to the buildings used on the railway. For this project I decided to create the smaller of these overhead sheds as it was seen in the third season, utilizing plastic sheets for the roof and CAD Design/3D printing for the supports. Enjoying the weathering in particular, I can firmly say that this building is a solid favorite of mine!

The next step was the roof, which was created from several strips of corrugated metal plastic sheets
Then the final and my personal favorite step - weathering!
