Here’s something I’ve wanted to release for a long time: a folder of 3D scans of all my face casts is now public!

Huge thanks to the donors who helped me get a scanner, and to my friends who provided the castings (thread below)🧵

@diffubf @left_handman @Carolin2455 yeah!! micheal’s done some scans for us, there’s a diesel face in the google drive that’s his.

some of the stuff (like the bull!) is a lot trickier to get right, and we’re still experimenting with merging two scans together of the bottom and top of it

[Covey @ThomasModeller]

@Carolin2455 @left_handman yep it’s a creality otter, same one that i use for all my face scans. it’s SUCH a good scanner and not too tooo expensive

Recently I learned that my good friend @ThomasModeller lives not so far from me so @coolb121 and I decided to pay him a visit!!

It was so cool to see Covey's work in person!

Below are the photos and videos we took. As you can see it was a great day 😊

Marley first reached out to me for help building this Thomas, but with their wealth of knowledge and modelmaking experience, I think they’ve ended up helping me far more than I’ve helped them! I can’t wait to see what they do next.

[Marley @faeleryn]

This is a replica I've wanted to do for years so I'm happy to have finally (almost) finished my replica of Thomas the Tank Engine. The models in Thomas were a big inspiration to me growing up so I built my replica using as many of the original materials and techniques as I could.

Lastly, I want to thank all our amazing donors who contributed to our initial fundraiser. You have all played a part in getting these scans out for everyone to use!

[Covey @ThomasModeller]

Hi everyone! Thanks to our GoFundMe and a lot of hard work, @MachanofSodor now has a 3D scanner and has begun scanning his faces!

Here are the first 5, with more to be released in batches as they’re scanned. Find them in their character folders here:

I also have 3 people to thank, this project couldn’t have happened without their efforts!

-@Hernan22H for a generous private donation when our fundraiser ran short
-@ClankyOldIron for making the 3D scanning stand for the faces
-@GingerOnRails for sourcing a laptop for Machan

@Greens_Trains @dom7067 looks like there’s room for an eye mech in that let’s see you have a go

[Covey @ThomasModeller]

@PunnyBnuy @esssiertiz23 @Nathan_TWR @The_lbsc_thomas i do them at something like 700,000 faces 🫠

[Covey @ThomasModeller]

Thanks to @esssiertiz23 and @Nathan_TWR for doing these 3d scans of the Thomas props in Japan! @The_lbsc_thomas kindly loaned their scanner, and all the scans are in my folder now!

Find them here:

As a side note - we were unable to get full scans of these as they were behind glass, but hopefully this helps someone out!

[Covey @ThomasModeller]

@DigitalRails @Blender This is so incredible, well done

[Covey @ThomasModeller]

@dom7067 amazing work, love the weathering
