Full Version: Michigan Central Station

A project I've been working on for a few years. This is the Michigan Central Station in Detroit Michigan. The building sat in ruin for many years, but fortunately the Ford Motor Company purchased the building and refurbished it bringing back all the great marble work throughout.

Modeled in MOI3D (Column heads in Blender) and printed on a Qidi Plus4 3D printer. Had to break the model into 31 pieces to be able to print it all! 36" x 24" x 18". Mistakes were certainly made and I'd design it differently next time (hand painting 2500+ windows was not fun).

I couldn't have done it without MOI.

Here you go. In the final version, I made the awning over the front doors a separate piece incase it gets broken, I can easily replace it.
