Welcome to my “Future Projects Planning Page.” This is a new page that I added to my website in 2025, where I will provide you some insight to any future projects (Balsa RC model, Stained Glass, or 3D Modeling) that I might have in the planning stage. If anyone has some suggestions, recommendations, or questions about a project, please feel free to contact me @: Future Project Input.

Haunted House — A Halloween Scene

 As the days grow shorter and the nights turn colder, this haunted house begins to glow — illuminated from within, surrounded by pumpkins, lanterns, and a gargoyle keeping watch at the gate. This Halloween scene is designed as a detailed, layered display piece. Each part is printed separately for perfect color control and easy assembly. I found the “Haunted House — A Halloween Scene,” created by a modeler named “@Danial4D,” Structales - Roadrunner4d, which you can download for free from the makerworld website.

Mushroom Cottage – Garden Decoration

 This charming mushroom house brings a touch of magic wherever it’s placed. With its iconic red cap dotted in white, a welcoming door, and two tiny windows, it looks like it belongs in a storybook. Surrounded by sculpted grass and stones, it makes a lovely accent in both indoor and outdoor spaces.

 The model is hollow, allowing you to place a small LED or tea light inside for a warm, inviting glow. Whether nestled among flowers in your garden or sitting on a windowsill or bookshelf, the Mushroom Cottage is sure to spark curiosity and delight. Perfect for fairy gardens, plant pots, or simply adding a bit of whimsy to your everyday surroundings. I found the “Mushroom Cottage – Garden Decoration,” created by a modeler named “@Danial4D,” from Structales - Roadrunner4d, which you can download for free from the makerworld website.

Castle Builder Puzzle

 How about another puzzle to add to the 3D collection for Everly and August. I found the “Castle Builder Puzzle,” created by a modeler named “winzmuc,” which you can purchase from the cgtrader website.

 As described in the “Castle Builders Rules,” the bottom image below, the objective of this puzzle is to rearrange the castle's 35 elements and find a path from the lowest staircase to the highest tower. Using the STL file as provided by the modeler, the overall size of this puzzle would be 164x164x135mm. I think I might scale the STL file parts by 150% (largest puzzle frame element I can fit on my printers build plate), which would then produce a puzzle with an overall size of 246x246x203mm.

 Attention: for building the board you will need a square sheet (152x152mm) of 2-3mm plywood or strong cardboard. Leaving one frame element loose is recommended to be able to rearrange all pieces quickly when stacked completely, as shown in the renderings. I contacted the designer and he provided me a list of the number of parts needed to make up the 35 elements in the puzzle. They are: Slider Base - 35x; Simple Block height 1 - 6x; Simple Block height 2 - 4x; Tower height 3 - 3x; all other pieces - 1x.
