This is one of Frances Glessner Lee’s Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of 1/12-scale dioramas based on real-life criminal investigation cases. They were used—and continue to be studied even today—to train investigators in the art of evidence gathering, meticulous documentation, and keen observation. And they were created by one of the most unlikely and influential figures in crime scene forensics.

3D Miniature Model Making | Landscape Model Making

3D miniature model making is a fascinating and intricate art form that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. The process involves using 3D printing technology to create detailed, scaled-down replicas of real-life objects, buildings, and landscapes.

One of the biggest advantages of 3D miniature model making is its accuracy and precision. With the help of computer software, designers can create extremely detailed and complex models that accurately represent the original object or structure. This level of accuracy and precision is not possible with traditional miniature model-making techniques.

The process of creating a 3D miniature model begins with a 3D design created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The design is then sent to a 3D printer, which prints the model layer by layer using a variety of materials such as plastics, resins, and metals.

The printing process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the size and complexity of the model. Once the printing is complete, the model is removed from the printer and any excess material is removed using various tools and techniques.

The final step in the process is finishing and painting the model to give it a realistic look and feel. This involves using various techniques such as sanding, polishing, and painting to create a finished product that accurately represents the original object or structure.

3D miniature model making has a wide range of applications, including architecture, engineering, film and television, and gaming. Architects and engineers use 3D miniature models to visualize and test building designs before construction begins, while filmmakers and game designers use them to create realistic and detailed sets and landscapes.

Overall, 3D miniature model making is a fascinating and highly specialized art form that offers a level of accuracy and precision that traditional miniature model making techniques simply cannot match. With the help of 3D printing technology, designers can create stunning and intricate models that accurately represent the original object or structure, making it an invaluable tool in a wide range of industries.

Landscape Model Making

Landscape model making is a fun and creative activity that can help you bring your outdoor space to life. Whether you’re creating a model of your backyard, a park, or a favorite natural area, a landscape model can help you visualize your ideas and plan your design.

To get started with landscape model making, you’ll need a few basic materials. These include:

A base material: You can use a variety of materials for the base of your model, such as foam board, plywood, or even cardboard. Choose a material that is sturdy enough to support your model and that is the right size for your project.

Landscaping materials: You’ll need materials such as sand, rocks, gravel, and soil to create the terrain of your model. You can also use materials like artificial grass or moss to create the look of vegetation.

Trees and shrubs: Trees and shrubs are an important part of any landscape, so you’ll need to include them in your model. You can use model trees and shrubs, or create your own using wire and modeling clay.

Buildings and structures: If you’re creating a model of a park or a backyard, you’ll need to include buildings and other structures such as fences, benches, and playground equipment.

Once you have your materials, you can start building your landscape models. Begin by creating the terrain of your model using sand, rocks, and other landscaping materials. Use glue to secure the materials in place.

Next, add trees and shrubs to your model. Place them in areas where they would naturally grow, and vary their size and shape to create a realistic look.

If you’re including buildings or structures in your model, add them next. Use modeling clay or other materials to create the structures, and place them in the appropriate locations.

Finally, add any finishing touches to your model, such as small details like flowers or animals. Use your imagination to make your model as realistic and detailed as possible.

When your model is complete, step back and admire your work! You can use your model to plan out your actual outdoor space, or simply enjoy it as a fun and creative project. With landscape model making, the possibilities are endless!

I built a Cyberpunk City out of GARBAGE

(AKA: What you do when you’re stuck at home and bored to tears)

So, one of the wilder things I did during the pandemic was build my own cyberpunk city to use for a music video shoot. 

The bones of the project just uses completely randomly pieces of cardboard and other crap from my garage, randomly glued together into shapes that looked vaguely building-like, and spray-painted gray and black to look somewhat on-purpose.

(Party cups and left over toilet paper tubes just add to the aesthetic)

The next thing I did was add dramatic uplighting, because let’s face it... everything looks cooler and bigger and more intense if it’s uplit. Chunks of leftover LED strips work really well, and it’s really easy to isolate just the blue circuits. It creates the illusion of scale which is important for any model to look large.

Of course, no city is complete without BLINKY LIGHTS (and I’m sure you noted already there’s some blinky action on top of the towers here) so I spent a bunch of time googling blinking light circuits and experimenting with them on a breadboard before ultimately extending the wires to glue them to the buildings themselves.

(I  got a basic electronics kit on Amazon for most of the components)

Then, I put white LED strips inside of the bigger buildings (a little trickier to isolate the W circuits but not impossible!) and poked holes to simulate lit windows for ultimate sci-fi street cred.

At this stage, things were looking pretty legit.

The “final” touch was to create a virtual billboard to go in one of the sections. I had an old first gen ipod touch that I made a little slot for and cobbled together a video loop for. (Don’t worry it’s not permanently installed or anything -- it just slides in and out.)

... and of course what dystopian future is complete without flying cars...?

A little platform for a hotwheels car to go on (after it’s all painted green of course for the greenscreen.)

Insert some practical effects, some video-editing magic, and VOILA! ... it’s CYBERPUNK TIME BAYBEE.

I was inspired by a post on here from literally years ago about making a city out of garbage and LED’s and decided to take it to the next level. I’m sure at some point I could save myself the trouble by learning how to 3D model but this was so much more fun.

I probably spent too much time on this but if you’re in any way curious about what the final result turned out to be, the video I built all of this for premieres on October 15th.
