The main structure was built in Blender using polygonal modeling techniques. Key elements like the wheels, stairs, balconies, and the curved roof were carefully crafted. The proportions were intentionally exaggerated to reinforce the fantasy aesthetic.

Decorative touches were added, such as carved railings, a top chimney, and ornate window frames. Small imperfections in the wood, joints, and bolts help bring realism and character to the model.

Textures were created in Substance Painter, combining materials like aged wood, rusty metal, and worn paint. Normal, roughness, and ambient occlusion maps were used to enhance surface detail. A vibrant color palette (red, yellow, green) was chosen to reflect cultural richness and energy.

For the final render, soft studio-style lighting was used to highlight the shapes and materials. The model was placed on a detailed circular base with rope and wood textures, simulating a handcrafted diorama display.

This model is suitable for use in video games, animated shorts, or virtual reality scenes as a narrative or decorative element.
