This page is for my 3D (Blender) models that are not buildings in their own right, such as control panels, furniture and pumps.
Bingo equipment
- Prize bingo terminal and seat
- Bingo blower with balls – animated using rigid bodies and the vortex force object – great fun!
Mechanical and electrical equipment
- Boilers
- Pumps – several types
- Hot water calorifier tanks
- Heater/cooler batteries (heat exchangers)
- Large gate valves
- Centrifugal fans
- Ventilation grilles and diffusers
- Equipment needed but not started:
- Cooling towers
- Cold water storage tanks
- Transformers
- Fuse/switch panels
- Low voltage distribution board
- Lift equipment partly in progress
Architectural details
Industrial folding doors, made for a fictional hospital rooftop plantroom but also applicable to the OS Services Block and lots of other workshop buildings or industrial buildings. These were my first project using ‘armatures’ to allow a kind of animation by moving one part of the door and the other parts moving as well.
Control panels
Catering equipment
As I have produced several buildings containing commercial restaurants then the back-of-house commercial kitchen equipment is a vital part of the scene.
- General purpose oven
- Boiling tops (hobs)
- Boiling pans
- Range cookers
- Deep fat fryers
- Drinking water fountains
- Bar counters and shutters
- Equipment needed but not started:
- Bain Maries and servery
- Steamer ovens
- Dishwashers
- Kitchen extract hoods/valances
- Pot wash sinks
- Griller
- Griddles
- Refrigeration!
- Built-in freezer/cold room.
- Standalone refrigerator
- Standalone freezer
- Laundry equipment?
Furniture
- Cafeteria tables
- Chairs
TV Studio equipment
- Monitors
- VT machines
OS equipment
Specific equipment for my Ordnance Survey office models
- Plan press
- Illuminated light table
Equipment required but not started:
- Print
- Printing presses – I like a challenge but that is probably beyond me due to the complexity and lack of reference materials. It would be nice to have a model of say the Crabtree machines from Maybush. I will see what models are available online.
- Proving presses
- Print Finishing equipment/Map Mounting
- Guillotines
- Casing machines
- Letterpress
- Filmsetting equipment
- Repro
- Plate whirlers
- Process cameras
- Arc lamps
- Exposing lamps
- Contact frames
- Graining equipment
- Spraying equipment
- Helio sinks
- Wash viewers etc
- Film dryers
- Air survey equipment – like printing presses, far too complex for me so will hopefully find something online – Wild stereoplotters for example.
- IT equipment
- ICL mainframe
- Punch card readers/writers
- Tape drive cabinets
- Hard drive cabinets
- Magnetic tape racks
- Xynix plotter
- Digitising tables
- PABX (telephone exchange) and switchboard – probably too complex but most large complexes of that era would have had one so should be common if not simple.
- Exhibition Centre content
- Sanitary fittings
- WCs
- Basins
- Cleaners’ sinks
- Tea Stations
- Urns
- Milk boilers
- Trolleys
Railway cab equipment
