I find the margate company's track to be great

I would love to! your work with the CGI animation is amazing. Ever thought of creating a series? i hope so!

On another note...... how is the "other project" coming?

I am working on a series.  And I'm sorry how long the other project is taking.  It's just on the backburner

And I will edit this post with more pictures!

my best ever I have to say

Those were not my best ever.  Many months later, After they're reveal in CGI, I made new ones from scratch.  And here they are!

They are not finished yet, but you get the idea
In July, I decided to redo or overhaul EVERY engine I had made.  I've got a few more pictures of "new generation" models if anyone would care to see

I'm not sure if that's legit, but they sound great!

I think bachmann will make whoever they make

Canada Post says my Duck is going to be delivered on Monday!

That's amazing.  Would you mind if I re-created that scene in CGI?

I wouldn't waste such a rare model.  I'd go the kit bashing route

Hey,

  Thanks for the help. Does anyone know whether the Studio at Shepperton studios is still occupied by Thomas? Or has it since been dismantled? I know some things went to drayton, but where did the rest go?

I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING went to Vancouver for reference in building the CGI models and environments

Glad to know they researched her basis very meticulously I suppose

Of course they have.  Andrew B. has been batting 1000 so far!

i kind of find it hard to believe Thomas having a low budget. Thomas is a muti-MILLION dollar gold mine! they only switched the CGI because they didn't want to pay the taxes on it. they went from really good CGI, for a kids program, to not that great CGI. this situation is what I call "The Miller Effect" story lines go down, CGI goes up. Story lines go up, CGI goes down. just goes to show "you can't win!" -Duke

I wouldn't say taxes would be the sole reason for Thomas to turn into CGI.  Keeping the show the traditional model format would've been more expensive (as years go by that is) due to them building engines (some very useless ones at that), locations, etc. as well as filming costs as well. It was also since that the majority of kids shows and/or movies are all into the CGI format (as seen in Disney, Dreamworks, etc.), from what I recall reading somewhere.

I think what anthony meant was taxes motivated the move of production from British Columbia to Ontario.

I don't know how the taxes went down province to province, honestly.

I really am just stating my opinion,  sorry if I sounded a bit harsh,  but I'm really just not a fan of the new look.  It just seems cheaper overall.  And I heard (don't quote me on this), that the animation is cheaper on purpose!  Due to a lower budget.

It's best to consult the exploded diagram, that came with it,  take the body off, and push the face off from behind
