Today I noticed that the papercraft “Dirty Garage”, which was originally published on May 12, made it into this blog’s Top Ten Monthly. After more than 10 years I had forgotten about this blog post, so decided to click on the link. The address took me to Hobby Talk, which was a forum for diecast collectors, radio-controlled car enthusiasts, and modelers. Unfortunately, this forum is no longer available. The Wayback Machine allowed me to view the forum. However, the templates were of very poor quality. I solved the problem by running them through Fotor, an image editor online that utilizes artificial intelligence. The result, despite the low resolution templates at the start, was reasonable. As there was no image of the completed model available, I chose to build it using Sketchup in 3D. You can view the results in the pictures that accompany this article.
The papercraft was based off the Berry-Lincoln Store that used to be available on the Build Your Own Main Street website
, but unfortunately, it no longer exists. This version of the “Dirty Garage”, in HO (1/87) scale, was created by Gomanvongo. It is ideal for dioramas, model railways and wargames. Enjoy. Have fun.
Hoje eu vi que este papercraft de uma oficina/garagem, a “Dirty Garage”, originalmente publicado em Maio de 2012, estava nos Top Ten mensais do blog.
Obviamente, depois de mais de dez anos, eu nao me lembrava mais deste post e resolvi visitar o link.
O endereco levava ao Hobby Talk, um forum de “colecionadores diecast, modelistas e entusiastas de autorama e carros de controle remoto”, mas infelizmente o forum nao existe mais.
Gracas ao Wayback Machine, eu consegui acessar o forum, mas os templates disponiveis la estavam em baixissima resolucao.
Resolvi este problema passando os templates por um editor de imagens online que usa inteligencia artificial chamado Fotor (fotor.com).
O resultado ficou bem razoavel considerando a pessima resolucao original dos templates.
Depois, como nao haviam imagens disponiveis do modelo terminado, resolvi monta-lo em 3D, usando o Sketchup.
O resultado voces podem ver nas imagens que ilustram este post.
Este papercraft e na verdade uma customizacao bem legal feita em cima da Berry-Lincoln Store, oferecida no site Build Your Own Main Street Models que infelizmente tambem nao existe mais.
Esta versao, a “Dirty Garage” na escala HO (escala 1/87), foi feita pelo modelista Gomanvongo e e perfeita para maquetes ferroviarias, dioramas e wargames.
No final do post, alem do link original para o forum, tambem deixarei outro link com a versao melhorada por I.A, onde eu reuni os dois templates em um unico arquivo PDF. Boa montagem.
