Old Factory Building Interior Set Collection
Description
I created this modular building component collection so that I could create a photo-realistic interior of an old factory, dated around the early 1900’s. The scale of my diorama is 1 in 20 (5%) and measures 710mm wide x 510mm deep x 425mm high. Check out my video clips: https://youtu.be/XlwxsrwHdVk https://youtube.com/shorts/8jczCFJsOB4 You will need to attach your model to a base board, preferably plywood, MDF or rigid construction foam. Construct your model in roughly the order of the items listed below. Make the design your own by adding, changing or deleting parts as you require. Paint the pieces in your desired colour scheme. Paint as much as you can before assembly. Assemble using high-quality adhesive. WALL: The wall section has been split so that you do not need to use supports. Print the wall sections using a filament printer with the upper/lower lip on the print bed. You will need to join both wall sections after printing - I used epoxy resin. For the ground floor, attach the wall sections to a base board. For the upper storey, glue the wall sections to the WALKWAY. The wall was reworked from the reworked model: thing:4641013 by fortkentdad (David Beale). WALL CORNER: For my model, I created the corner pieces by using a hacksaw to cut some wall sections in half. I then applied a 45 degree bevel and joined the pieces using a lot of epoxy. I then filled in the corners at the rear of the wall. I have created a model to replicate this design. WALKWAY: Use the walkway sections to provide an elevated walkway and to add rigidity to the upper storey of the factory wall sections. Print using a filament printer at 100% scale. Join straight and corner walkway sections to the upper wall assembly. Use the WALKWAY FILLER to close the triangular hole at the front. Use the other WALKWAY FILLERs as required for your diorama. If required, glue CONICAL LAMPS to the underside of the walkway assembly. COLUMN: Columns are used to support the walkway and the roof - the larger section is at the top. Print using a filament printer with.the column upside-down (larger square on the machine bed). ROOF: Print with a filament printer using supports. Clean out the larger holes with a 3.0mm drill bit. Clean out the smaller holes with a 2.5mm drill bit, and then tap with an M3 tap. Join ROOF sections with M3x6 screws. Glue WINDOW FRAME sections inside the window openings. Glue ROOFING IRON or CORRUGATED IRON to the top of the roof. If required, glue CONICAL LAMPS to the underside of the roof assembly. WINDOW FRAME: These attach inside the window cutouts in the ROOF. Print using a resin printer. Glue a piece of translucent or transparent film to the front of the frame pieces - I used tracing paper. Use epoxy to glue the window frame in the roof window openings - these pieces can be a tight squeeze to get it in - use small spring clamps while the glue is curing. CORRUGATED IRON: A section of ripple material that was my original concept for covering the roof, but was not used. Print using a resin printer. ROOFING IRON: Final version for the roofing material. Print using a resin printer. My prints ended up being a little bit distorted, however they were still ok to use. ROOF END: Add these to finish off the ends of your ROOF assembly. Print using a resin printer. Drill and tap M3 (as per ROOF). CONICAL LAMP: This lamp is designed to incorporate a 5mm white LED. Print using a resin printer at 100% scale. Spray-paint the interior surface in gloss white and then the outside in gloss green. Scavenge some white LEDs from a cheap festive lighting set and glue them in place. Run the wiring through some tube and fittings from my Pipe Fittings Collection at 20% scale (5mm diameter pipe). Use all LEDs of the same colour (same voltage requirements), connect in parallel and use a single dropping resistor. The resistor value depends on the LED colour and supply voltage (as a default, use 5 Volts and 330 Ohms). For power I used 3xAA battery holder with a switch. SAFETY FENCE: Print using a resin printer at 5% scale. Paint in safety yellow or silver. ROOF SUPPORT 12mm TUBE: This is used to support the roof where required. The ends are based on the COLUMN design. Cut a piece of 12mm Aluminium tube to length and glue in place. As an alternative, if you have any prints of the COLUMN that have partially failed, then you could cut and join these to create a support. FUTURE WORK: I will create these when I need them, maybe… Wall section with windows. Wall section with door. Wall section with roller door. Roof section with skylight. Roof section with walkway. Stairs with handrail. I used ViaCad for modelling and added surface texture to the column in ZBrush.
