The 3D printed tram station

My diorama setup for after we move in a few years is already planned. It's done in a way that I can do a straight line, an L of U shape, or even divide it up in 2 or 3 pieces. 

I had a small spot in the Town part that was empty. I have stuff to put in it, but those are single items that I can put elsewhere. I was hoping to get an idea to print something for it. But no more stores, and it had to fit in the theme, yet be different.

Then I spotted a new 3D print design from Fulv, who offers affordable designs: a tram station! I already have a Sylvanian tram stop sign, trams, lanterns, and park benches and that would just complete this perfectly at the other end of JollyOaksField town. 

It had to be adapted to fit in my empty spot. I also swapped parts with one of Fulv's previous designs, like the flowers and rooftop ornament grids. I spent a few days adapting his models to fit my needs. 

His tram got sliced up and altered to become a pram tram, inspired by the Sylvanian Frenchies baby dogs car pram. 

I replaced the base and front roof grid with my own design, as I loved to add a whiff of Art Nouveau to it. 

Fulv's model came with a ticket booth, which I converted into an old fashioned advert kiosk. I was looking for something like that for ages, I'm so chuffed! My Sylvanians have free public services, including transport!

Here is his design that I started with:

Fulv's tram + station

This is what I turned it into. I hope you love it too!

Angelina Ballerina Sylvanians: origins.

Again, a compilation about a series of blogs I made about this topic, after extensive research, compiled to offer relevant data only, and improved it even a bit. I split all the data over 2 blogs. I discovered the Angelina series in 2021 after I already collected a lot of Sylvanian Families and fell in love with them instantly. You can see the likeness to Sylvanian, but they are not real ones. Yet, they do are related indeed, as you will find out! T his is blog will deep dive into the origins, the next blog about my crafting. Flair (UK toy company since 1999) took over the production of Sylvanian Families in the UK in 1999/2000. Up to then, Epoch only produced Sylvanian Families in Japan. In 2013, Flair transferred the rights for the UK toys to Epoch UK. Flair released the Angelina Ballerina sets starting from 2003, yet claims to have no more info on the series, after contacting them. Through the help of some members of the Sylvanian forum, and lots of online research, I gathered more ...

3 new 3D prints: part 2/4: The Newspaper Shop

Image
  Part 1 can be read here:  https://sylvanianinvasion.blogspot.com/2025/04/3-new-3d-prints-part-14-mysterious-case.html I had a 3D printed newspaper kiosk. Loved it, but my printer back then was not so good, so it looked "printed" instead of "real". And, once the roof of the kiosk was on, there is no way to see what is behind the storekeeper, which was a shame. Since the previous printer was not so dimensionally accurate, it didn't fit well together at all. I figured a small corner building would make a great Newspaper Shop corner building in Town. The town didn't have any soft citrusy green color buildings yet.  Here's a detail of the floor I created. And now I can spot what's inside very well! Enjoy!

3 new 3D prints: part 1/4: The mysterious case of the lost original Sylvaninan Families Town Series store

Image
Part of prepairing to move in a few years, was to restrain myself from printing the bigger projects I have planned.  B ut, as I was printing some practical items for our future home, and some items for my husband, plus some stuff to stage this house once it needs to be sold, it dawned on me that I had some colors of filament leftover which were not used in JollyOaksVille Town and would fit right in with the soft color scheme,  just enough to create 3 stores.  Not just the colors that I lacked interested me, but a few ideas that fit totally with the theme Epoch didn't create. And, I fancied some extra wall textures they didn't use either. As there is always a small risk of PLA filament becoming too brittle after a few years, even though I store it with desicant packs, I figured it was better to use them now instead of tagging the extra weight of the rolls along and risking throwing it away anyway by then. Extra weight as in the rolls themselves and about 1/3 - 1/4 of all f...
