BRIO PRR GG1

10/26/2025

Picture
My dad's favorite locomotive is the Pennsylvania Railroad's all electric GG1 in the Brunswick Green with gold pinstriping livery. While he's got a decent collection of O, and HO model trains, he's never owned a GG1. Some day I'd like to acquire one for him, but until then, I was able to treat him to this wooden railway version with a decal set to match. If I had a CNC milling machine I could export and send this directly from Autodesk Fusion 360.

I went through my previous employer's YouTube channel and added every project where my work is showcased into a playlist.
Unfortunately the embedded playlist can only show up to 200 videos. Please view the playlist on YouTube to see all that are available.

Office Building

As another CAD exercise, I decided to make a building exterior. I went with the office where I used to work because of the various details and surfaces that decorate the building's facade.

I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to create one corner of the building which I was able to trim and copy, and mirror to create the rest of the structure.

Open Concept Townhouse

9/17/2025

As an exercise to get used to modeling utilizing the capabilities of CAD software. I decided to use the blueprints for my home as a reference to build the scene. 

I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to create everything in the scene and carried in the table and chair set from a previous post since it fit in with everything else.

While Fusion 360 is great CAD software, it's not quite the bebest choice for architechtual designs. Everything had to be done manually. No shortcuts for the walls, windows, or doors.

1963 Dalek - Remastered

3/18/2020

4 Comments

 
I wasn't happy with how I originally modeled the Dalek after uploading it to Sketchfab for the 3D preview. I decided I should rework the entire mesh and redo the textures as well.

This time I wasn't going to be afraid of floating geometry since it added unnecessary polygons, the UV layout wasn't well optimized for modern texture workflows.

Arcade Cabinet

Back in 2016 I started working on an arcade cabinet for a project, but never got around to finishing it. I quickly put some new textures on it just to see how it would look. It's not anywhere near done but it would look great as a background prop.

2025 Revisit

I wanted to revisit this model again after a few years of learning Fusion 360. The majority of this model was already to my liking so I didn't really do much to update this other than smooth out edges and combine meshes. I rendered out the new views with better camera focal length and a transparent background this time.
