Drop Paradise

Welcome to "Drop Paradise" amusement park! All the rides and passengers are independently 3D modeled, hand-painted and individually glued together and down to the board. The park contains 15 rides and over 500 hundred drop characters (staff members + park citizens) plus a beautiful lake in the center!

• 3D software (example: Fusion 360)
• 3D printer
• Printer Filament
• Hot glue gun
• Matte Acrylic paint
• Paint Brushes
• Artificial grass
• Pot + source of heat
• Blue candles
• Large piece of wood
• Floor Vinyl Sticker Tiles (for the sidewalk)

Search "Images of Amusement Park Rides" online ... optional (make a powerpoint) to organize your images!

I used Fusion 360 to model all my rides. Each ride is independently designed (this step requires a lot of effort, creativity and most importantly patience).

This step personally was the hardest (each ride is unique). For me it took 8 pieces for the smallest ride in my park to be printed and over 500 pieces for the Ferris wheel! This step requires TIME. *It can take anywhere from a few hours to weeks to print and assemble a single ride*

Each drop is individually painted in 25 different colors for my park!

Glue the printed ride pieces together (take your time and have fun), a hot glue gun works best!

Any type of wood works... also good to grab other materials like (grass, tiles, and vinyl stickers while you're out).

A hot glue gun works best to stick 3D printed designs on wood. Cut out paper outlines to create a draft before sticking and gluing items down.

Fun Fact: The drops are my own creation, created on my birthday!

Heat up the candle (any shade of blue will work) in a pot and then pour it while it's hot onto the lake area then wait for it dry.

All done!!!!!
