Debuting next to two other sheds in the second season of Thomas and Friends, this single engine shed has had a wide variety of uses and appearances throughout the series. My goal for this project was to replicate the shed as it was seen in the fifth season episode “Oliver’s Find” utilizing CAD design, 3D printing, plastic sheets, and various other materials such as tape and cardboard. Being the first building I printed wall-by-wall when I truly found my passion for model-making in 2020, I could not be happier with it and the path it set me on for the future!
