Next to the school dance building is the Softbank building. It is based on the very popular Tomix 4051 Square building set (brown). https://www.tomytec.co.jp/tomix/products/n/4051.html

Complete with 3D-printed figurines... ... and a nice wooden bench. The top floor is the music studio, with a nice glass roof. Each storey is lighted individually, using small light boxes.
The building next to the construction site will be a Dance School, inspired by the Tokyo Dance Haiyu & Butaigeijutsusenmon School building in Shibuya.
I needed to add more signals, so I made a new version of my Arduino Nano-based DCC signal controller. This one can control up to ten Tomix signals. Working on the construction site this week. First, new signboards and decals Then, the first tests of the moving crane. The servo motor (controlled by an Arduino Nano) is right below the board. The rotation is not super smooth, I'll have to work on that! I am continuing the work on the construction zone (next to the tower crane). This area is stuck between the train and the tram tracks, so it has a strange curved shape. I have prepared more photo-etched parts this summer, for the scaffolding and the fence. The building frame is made of Evergreen styrene strips and beams. Part of the first photo-etching project, I built a tower crane, which will be the focus point of the new construction area. The tower crane is largely inspired by a real crane, the JCL008II. This is the photo-etched stainless steel sheet as it came back from manufacturing. The details are perfect, very precise.
The workflow is as follows:
I am experimenting with photo-etching to make highly-detailed parts such as catenary poles or steel platforms. The parts are first modelled in 3D in Autodesk Fusion 360 using the Sheet Metal module. Fusion 360 is a powerful CAD/CAM/PCB professional tool available free of charge for personal use (check https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal).
These are a few examples of objects designed using this software. |
