Step into the world of Springfield with this detailed tutorial! Watch as I recreate the iconic Kwik-E-Mart from 'The Simpsons' using the precision of an xTool S1 diode laser cutter.
To ensure authenticity, I've added 3D printed details that bring this beloved cartoon location to life.
Whether you’re a fan of 'The Simpsons', a model-making enthusiast, or just love a good DIY project, this video is a must-watch.
Join me on this creative journey and learn how to build your very own piece of Springfield!

The files I used to build this awesome model are available right now to all patreons at the 'Scenery Expert' level. I have a selection of free 3D printer and Laser Cutting files so you to can build this cool scene.

The Simpsons world is just not complete without Ned Flanders next door! In this tutorial I’ll show you a different method of building Neds house using a CO2 laser cutter. The process is somewhat different than using 3D printing however the results are equally impressive.
If you’d like to have a go at building this very cool model of Ned Flanders house you can open and download all the separate files from the original TinkerCAD project here:

I use the new Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro to recreate this awesome HO scale diorama of The Simpsons house. All files and templates are available, links listed below.

This is a sponsored video showcasing the new printer from Anycubic, the Photon Mono M5s Pro. I've been using this printer for a month now and I gotta say it's become my go to printer. Especially when combined with the high speed resin!

To purchase this printer or just to check out the features to see if it's something you want to invest in you will find it here: https://amzn.to/3T3gYPO

If you'd like to download the files to build the house you can find them on my website at the bottom of the page here: https://www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/youtube-videos/the-simpsons---diorama

I’ve always wanted to see what my model railroad would look like from the perspective of a tiny HO scale person walking around… And now I can 😄
In this tutorial I use a number of specialized tools to get the final result, however as long as you have some wheels and some materials you could make a basic version of this by hand if desired, you could even just adapt the camera to an existing piece of rolling stock on your layout and get some really cool shots!
If you’re interested in building this exact model you’ll find the files for the camera mount for free on my website here:

If you want to build the flatbed cars as well they are available for purchase through my store here:

Or if you’re a $7 Patreon, you can get access to the store as part of the Patreon membership so you’ll not only be able to download these cars but also a selection of the other items in the store as well.

Dust is a never ending battle for a model railroader, but not anymore! I’ll step you through the numerous techniques I’ve implemented on my model railroad to show you just how I’m stopping dust from ruining the fun I plan to have running this layout.

If you want to laser cut the dust filter unit you will find the project files here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/4sm4iH7blc7
You can even modify the dimension so if you have a smaller fan or filter you have the ability to change the shape and design of the model.

This is a HO scale model railroad but this videos is not scale specific, these step will work for just about any setup, even if you a military modeller and want to make a dust free display cabinet, just one of these fans on top will give you that opportunity, and your friends will be asking, how do you keep your models looking so good 😄

The series continues as the model railroad starts to come to life, adding the lights to this HO scale model railroad has made a huge difference! However, it’s really the fascia and curtains that direct your attention to the scenic areas of the layout.
A model railroad really stands out when some thought is put into the presentation of the layout as a whole. We spend so much time building, detailing and constructing the railroad, we should put just a little extra effort into its presentation so people will view the entire model railroad as an art piece.
So I continue this build by demonstrating and talking through the process of adding the fascia, curtains, lights and also the foam baseboard that will for the initial base for the HO scale layout.
