Hi all, made an account here.
Unsure how often I will use or post here atm, but with all the changes going on “there” (for the worse), I do hope many of my favorite creators make the switch so I can enjoy them without seeing something I didn’t ask for to get to it.

Been a bit, but finally got substantial finished model stuff to show.
Not exactly “new”, but here’s Edward, fully refurbished and repainted. Better lining and paint finish + old parts cleaned or swapped with new ones.
Plus a new main face from the 3D scan of the real prop one!

“Thomas slept badly that night. He kept wondering what Gordon, Henry and James would say if they knew he had finished his journey on a lorry. He almost thought he could hear them laughing.”
Based on my favorite Chris Awdry book, my #JustLikeAwdry diorama finished *just* in time.

I am not beating any LNER-bias allegations anytime soon.
Always had a soft spot for B1s, so when I saw Hornby release a modern Mayflower, I couldn’t help myself.
Love the livery and finish, the gold front lamps especially! Nice they upgraded it from 8 to 21-pin DCC ready too.

I’ve received news that the Vancouver Train Expo in November has been cancelled this year. :(
Very sad news to hear, was really looking forward to displaying my models and meeting other fans again (was in the middle of storming up some special plans for this year too).

“Those are Thomas’ coaches!”
As you may have noticed, I’ve also completed RWS renditions of Annie and Clarabel too.
Made from Ratio/Parkside Midland Railway 48 ft bogie coach kits, of course with their push-pull windows cut out.
Not bad for my first coach kits, just felt wrong to have Thomas without them!

“Blue is the only color for a Really Useful Engine - everybody knows that.”
In time for the 80th Anniversary, here’s my completed RWS Thomas! 🔵🚂🎉
Went the full mile and did both MK1 and MK2 Thomas’, using their respective SCC E2X bodyshells on a Bachmann Jinty chassis.

Finally feeling better after being sick for nearly five days.🫡
Got to do some catching up at work, and for new model projects I’ve got planned, as well as a few commissions.
Also might have something special y’all might be interested in if all go well this week…

Most recent Japan haul.
It started as just preordering the RWS Thomas…
But then that put me into a bit of a Plarail mood, and well…
I might’ve gotten a bit carried away… 😅

Based on feedback from when I asked about opening a P-treon or Ko-Fi, one suggested that the latter is better as an actual tip jar if you’re unsure about consistent incentives.
So Ko-Fi it is!..
I don’t demand anything big of course, but any amount is greatly appreciated!

Some have asked, so here’s a side-by-side of both Percy’s.
Ik his TV prop was bigger than his what he was suppose to be to fit all the mechanisms, but looking at it like this, damn…
Funny how this probably still isn’t the craziest size difference between RWS and TVS either.

Hi all, got a serious question (especially if its to help fund a new PC):
If I were to open a Patreon and/or KoFi, would you genuinely support it?
How much/which tier are you most likely to support? What kind of perks would you like to have?
Really want serious answers/advice.

“That’s a good engine; I’ll call you Percy.”
“Yes Sir! Thank you Sir!”

Normally don’t share most of my private commission work, but this one I was especially pleased with, I couldn’t help it. Full face sets for @riansrailway.bsky.social
Did them all S3-faithful (with some exceptions ofc).
I’m quite jealous tbh, these are better than some of my own copies 😂
