Modelled Monopoly With Different Time Periods and Places

Hello! My name is Chaitanya, and I am a freshman attending Eastlake High School. I modelled a Monopoly Board intended to depict different time periods in different places. I used both generic structures from the time period (A castle, house, pyramid, etc.) and specific buildings from the real world (The Taj Mahal, the temple of Poseidon in Sounion, etc. I modelled some to look the same as they would during that time period while I made others that are representative of how they look currently. This is mostly due to the fact that some of the real places I used as reference for my models are broken down and, hence, I do not know what they might have looked like during that time.

For modelling:

• Fusion 360

For making the board in real life:

• A 3D printer
• A blank Monopoly board
• A pack of blank cards

I first modelled a square and then extruded it to make the walls of the castle. After this I sketched a circle at the corners of the castle, extruded them to be slightly higher than the walls of the castle and sketched and extruded 4 circles that had a slightly larger diameter above them.

To make the gate I cut a rectangle out of the front wall, then sketched and extruded the gate shape on the wall.

The flag was made by keeping a triangle on top of a long and thin cylinder.

I then joined all the parts into one body.

My second building was a house which I made by sketching and extruding a square. I created the windows by cutting 2 rectangles into the square and I made the door by extruding a rectangle onto one of the walls.

The roof was made by extruding a rectangle and then copying and pasting it. I angled the rectangles to make the triangular shape of the roof. I filled out the space between the top of the square and the roof by sketching the space between them and extruding it.

I sketched and extruded 2 rectangles and a longer rectangle in between them to make the main body of the church. I then used the chamfer tool to add a sloping roof.

I made a cross and a pedestal for it by modelling and extruding a square and then sketching and extruding a cross. I then moved the cross to the pedestal and joined all the parts.

I added the pillars, by first sketching and extruding 2 small squares on top of each other on either side. I then using the fillet tool and chamfer tool to round out the sides and make them seem less blockish. To finish the pillars, I modelled 2 cuboids on top of the pillars and then chamfered and filleted them.

Finally, I cut a circle and a door shape into the front of the model for a window and a door.

This was loosely inspired by the Hephaestus temple in Athens while the other models in the Greek spaces are more accurate to the places I used as a reference when modelling them.

I sketched and extruded three rectangles on top of each other with the first rectangle being the largest and the last being the smallest.

I then added 8 cylinders around the base I had created to act as pillars.

I sketched and extruded a triangle for a roof and moved it into place.

The second addition to the Greek spaces was the Temple of Zeus in Athens. It was pillaged only a century after its construction. Because of this, there isn't much I could find about what it might have looked like, so I chose to model it as it is today.

I started by modelling the base by sketching an extruding 3 rectangles on top of each other.

I then modelled a cylinder and copied and pasted it. I moved the copied cylinders into place.

For the remnants of the roof, I sketched rectangles on top of the pillars and extruded them.

I started, as with the other Greek models, by modelling 3 rectangles in top of each other. I modelled, copied, pasted and moved cylinders into place to act as pillars. For the stone slabs on top of the pillars, I sketched and extruded rectangles on top of pillars. I chamfered the edge of one of them to add a slope.

I modelled a cylinder and chamfered the edges for the area on which the stone behind the entrance is placed.

For the stone, I chamfered and filleted a cuboid.

After modelling the Greek temples, I decided to take a break and modelled a community chest. I started by modelling a cuboid and then chamfering the opposite long sides. I then sketched and extruding a trim around the chest and then changed the appearance to a gold color. I then modelled a cuboid and cut a lock shape into it for the lock.

For the pyramid, I simply sketched and extruded subsequently smaller squares on top of each other.

For the base of the Sphinx, I sketched a rectangle and filleted the corners. I then sketched two rectangles for the front paws of the sphinx. For the body of the sphinx, I extruded smaller rectangles on top of each other. I sketched the shape of the neck/head of the sphinx. I then sketched a face-like shape and extruded it. I used the fillet tool to round it.

I stacked 4 squares on top of each other and extruded them. I then sketched, extruded, copied and pasted 4 cuboids and then angled them.

I sketched a square and used the cut tool to cut off the excess length.

I then sketched and extruded a cuboid to represent a house.

I then sketched another cuboid and filleted it to create the roof.

I sketched a house shape by sketching 2 identical circles and connecting them with 2 parallel lines.

I then cut the parts of the circle inside the shape and extruded the sketch.

I created the roof by filleting all 4 sides of a cuboid.

I started by sketching and extruding a square and then adding a cylinder at each corner.

I then chamfered the tops of the cylinders. I sketched a square and chamfered the corners for the octagonal shape. I then extruded it.

I modelled the top of the Taj Mahal, known as an onion dome, by filleting a cylinder into a sphere which I kept on top of cylinder. I then chamfered a cylinder and a smaller cylinder to make the top point. I reuse this in the other models in this time period and place. I copied and pasted it on the edges of the octagon.

I then sketched and cut an arch into the front using a circle and lines. I used the same method to carve the smaller arches into the corners of the Taj Mahal model.

I first sketched the general shape of the tomb by sketching a large square with 4 smaller squares with chamfered edges at the corners. I sketched and extruded 4 rectangles in between the smaller squares and copied and pasted the onion domes I modelled for the Taj Mahal after resizing them.

To begin, I sketched the perimeter and extruded it. I then added 4 cylinders at the corners.

I copied and pasted the onion domes and filleted the tops of cylinders. I also increased the width of the walls.

I sketched an archway by sketching 2 parallel lines and then using a fit point spline to create the curve.

I began by sketching and extruding a rectangle for the main part of the building. I then sketched 3 connected triangles for the roof.

For the smokestacks, I sketched and extruded a large and small cylinder and chamfer them.

I first sketched and extruded a rectangle and chamfered the top sides for a roof. For the windows, I sketched a rectangle, then copied and pasted it multiple times. I then cut it into the model.

Firstly, I sketched and extruded 2 rectangles next to each other. I then added a path between them with a sidewalk using rectangles. To finish, I cut windows into the opposite buildings.

The jail was something I had difficulty finding an idea for. Each civilization/time period I modelled had different jails and forms of imprisonment. I eventually decided on the Labyrinth from Greek mythology. It seemed fitting that though all the buildings I modelled were historical, the jail would be mythological. I modelled it by sketching lines in maze-like shape and then extruding them.

The process by which I modelled the skyscraper was simple, though it was tedious.

I sketched a square and then extruded it. I chamfered the top edges for the tip of skyscraper.

I sketched a rectangle and then copied and pasted it for the windows.

I started with a cuboid and then chamfered the top edges. I then sketched and extruded a board. I used the line tools to sketch letters which I extruded. I found the poorly written letters endearing, though it could easily be fixed by cutting the letters from the board and then sketching new ones.

Most houses are currently similar to houses from centuries ago, though they are built differently. However, with the modern era, there have been houses that are made to look strange and different from traditional houses. I chose to model this as it has emerged during the modern era, even if it is uncommon.

I started with a cuboid. I then modelled a larger cuboid that intersected the smaller cuboid. I sketched and extruded another cuboid on top of the larger one and added two cylinders intended to act as supports.

I sketched a rectangle and extruded it for the door. I then sketched a longer, thinner rectangle on the smaller cuboid and cut it to replicate a window.

I wanted each train station to have a mode of transportation from one of the civilizations it was next to. I started with the train station between medieval England and industrial England. For this, I imported a train I had created for another project and then added wheels to it.

I created the train model by sketching a rectangle and extruding it. I then sketched and extruded a cylinder. For the back of the train, I sketched and extruded a rectangle and then chamfered the edges. I cut a cylinder from the back of the train and cut a hole on top of the front of the train. I filleted a cylinder for the front and then angled 2 cylinders on the sides. I used another cylinder for the spout. The holes I cut into the train model weren't necessary for the board.

Once I imported the train, I sketched circles and extruded them for the wheels.

This train station was between the Greek and Egyptian spaces, so I decided to model a chariot.

I modelled the bottom of the chariot by sketching a circle and 2 parallel lines. I connected the ends of the 2 lines with a 3rd line. I extruded the sketch for the base of the chariot. I then sketched the outline of the chariot base for the walls and chamfered the back after I extruded it. I sketched and extruded 2 circles for the wheels.

This train station was between the ancient Mayans and India during Mughal rule. I chose to model a canoe which was used by the Mayans for transportation of goods as I had already modelled a chariot for the space between the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.

I sketched a rectangle and then chamfered corners for the shape. I chamfered the bottom as I did not know of the loft tool at the time. I sketched the shape of the top of the boat, though I made it slightly smaller. I cut it into the boat for the space in the boat. I sketched the outline of the front quarter of the boat's walls and extruded it. I then chamfered it so that it would slope upwards. I did this to add a slightly upraised tip.

I chose to leave one space on the board, and its train station blank so that any civilization or time period could be modelled there in the future.

The way I had placed the different time periods and civilizations allowed to keep the electric company and waterworks in the same place as the waterworks was placed next to industrial England and the electric company was in the modern era. I modelled the lightbulb by using a rectangle for the bottom of the bulb and using the fit point spline to create the bulb shape. I sketched a triangle for the filament. I sketched the waterworks by using the fit point spline to create the curved pipe. I then used the fit point spline to create a waterdrop from the pipe.

If you want to 3D print this model, it will likely require cutting the models into smaller parts and then gluing them together after 3D printing.
