MATTHEW'S MODULAR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION STRATEGY
I have recently developed a clever and dirt-cheap method of crafting
miniature buildings at T, Z, N, and other [larger] scales, and I am
only a couple of months away from being able to launch my new line of
model railroading products. Unlike the 3d-printed designs, these ones
will usually cost no more than $15 each, including shipping.
The
new buildings are built from clay, pressed into silicone molds made
using 3d-printed shapes as a base design, with paper printed and
layered onto the clay surface. The initial product line will be in N
scale, but if it proves popular I'll expand the line to include more
scales and more building designs. I think the new method could be
highly successful.
The
first major showcase for these products, incidentally, will be in the
upcoming sequel to 2003's "Tinyville Disaster", which will feature
numerous stop-motion animation elements, plus other miniature setpieces
and some miniature effects shot at 240 fps. Of particular
relevance is the city of Tinyville, which is being built at N scale
[1:160 scale] and is planned to contain dozens of miniature buildings.
Many of these buildings will also be used for an experimental
short, called "Real Americans".
The Z scale shop will be here, and the N scale shop here.
