The shot of Thomas passing a windmill from the main Thomas and Friends intro is arguably the most iconic shot in the entire franchise. As such, this project’s goal was to modify an old toy to better resemble the windmill prop used in this classic opening sequence. My personal favorite detail is the green door, adding a splash of color to this rustic building!
