    I've been filming a lot this week, and have been able to capture these wonderful pictures of Thomas while I'm at it. It's really nice to see him with all the rolling stock on set!!

    After 6 months of hard work, I'm delighted to reveal my Gauge 1 Edward and Henry alongside the Wellsworth set. It was so much fun working alongside @CarnforthJinty , and I can't thank him and @cooldude7208 enough for their help on this project. I hope you all enjoy the results!!

    Presenting my interpretation of Big City Engine, reimagined for the TV series. It was a unique challenge translating an illustrated face into the style of the show. Interesting to see what could have been!

    "He has cowcatchers and sideplates, i'll write to his controller at once" Here is my Gauge 1 Toby and Henrietta. This was a tricky build for me, and I spent a lot of time getting Toby's two-toned planks to look right. Ultimately I couldn't be more proud of the finished model!!

    Surprise! I’m very proud to finally reveal my Gauge 1 Gordon model. Like Thomas, he is fully operational with a working chassis, pump driven smoke and an eye mechanism. I can’t thank my friends on here enough for the help on this guy! He’s turned out better than I ever expected.

    Merry Christmas everyone, here is my James the Red Engine replica! I spent a long time getting his red coat as glossy as possible, much to his delight. This is a special reveal to me, as James was my childhood favourite. I think these photos do him justice, don't you?

    I've recently finished the sad Henry sculpt, and I thought it would be the perfect time to show him off in his old shape! I love this look for him, and I think it really sells the S1 aesthetic.

    I'm finally revealing my Annie and Clarabel models! There was a lot of tedious work required on these girls, not least including painting the names with a tiny brush!! Hope y'all enjoy seeing them with Thomas.

    I have James, and I have tar tankers, so I was obligated to sculpt his shocked face and stage the 'Dirty Objects' crash. I think he'll need more than bootlaces to get out of this predicament!!

    Here's the sad James sculpt! I made it in clay, then cast a resin duplicate to paint for the final copy. I love creating faces for James, his expressions are so exaggerated. Hope you all enjoy!

    Tonight I'm presenting a new smile for Gordon. @TomsProps graciously provided help with this one, and i appreciate his efforts helping me to get it right! I'm delighted with the final product, and moving forward i hope to sculpt this face into a variety of other expressions.

    “Be careful Henry, you’re not pulling the Flying Kipper now. Mind you keep on the rails today” Here’s another pair of faces for Gordon and Henry, again ones I’ve sculpted! I'm happy to now have a few different expressions for these guys; I think they suit nicely.

    I didn't quite catch what Henry said, but I think it had something to do with whistles.. I recently finished this frowning Gordon face, and I'm really proud of it. It's actually the first face I've sculpted completely from scratch, and I adore how it looks on the model. Enjoy!
