Percy is On hold for a new chassis, anyway, Ive started on my daisy, Made from a 2 car 101 class DMU, with the motor boigie corridor end cut off and replaced with the cab end of the dummy driving unit, and its looking sexy so far and after loads of fiddling, Ive fixed a boigie that hasnt worked in over 10 years and it runs beautifully now, MIRICLE!!!!

Do you think its a clean cut?
I got the lining to do and the missing chunks out of the fromt under the bufferbeam, but mainly the paint at the front needs tidying up, far from finished in my eyes :P
Face? I dunno blu tak coverd in superglue and then painted? lol
I decided to go tghis way using the 2 car DMU class 101 instead of the Hornby 121 bubblecar because of the differences, Daisy Is a 101 Bubblecar, not a 121 so there you go lads :D

Looking Good!
heres the finished paintwork, on my side ive still got alot of work to do to it such a a RWS Face and brakepiples, extra detail and other crap: what do you think?
(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1564/dsc0002mo3.jpg)
Buy some plastic putty, or plastic filler. Testors makes a pretty cheap tube of it.
Just spread it on with your finger. If you spread it lightly with your finger it dries faster. But if you have a large gap, or are filling in a window, spread it on generously, and give 5+hours to dry. Then sand it off with fine grit sand paper. you may want to seal it all with a bit of superglue and sand out ny more imperfections.
Also, buy some decal striping... It works a lot better than painting on stripes.
I wonder where topkazfatt got his Daisy face from. Looked like he did the TV methord of Boco's face with some makeup! :P
Daisy looks great well done mate. ;)
Nah, Hornby would do a 121 as explained. :-\
exctly, making mine a more correct model, And because I am acculy using Daisy's proper class, class 101, she should turn out perfect with the paintjob, detailing and face are done.
So All I have to do is cut the windows and doors out of toby and repaint him completely and make his face abit smaller and RWS Toby done and then Thats all the Ffarquhar Branch Locos done for My Ffarquhar layout
Thomas (both RWS versions)
Percy
Toby
Daisy
Mavis
the middle lining is done, now another coat of green and red and then her number D1 and its gonna get another coat of green and the face is gonna be an thin ERTL face with bluetak to spread the area out and it gettin painted green like in the books to match the colour of the body, bye bye mascara and eyeshadow :P
(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/703/rwsdaisyflaclesshj9.jpg)
I can't tell you how impressed I am with this Daisy model, it looks so awesome! I can't wait to see a video of it running (If you plan on making one that is) ;)
Yes, you are a credit to Awdry and his models.
I have to agree, these models are extremely good, I love that Percy, just like in the books.
I would really like to see photos of all your models Henryblue, where could they be seen, if there are any?
:-)
Yea most of my work is on MTF as i am a moderator :P
http://modeling22.proboards74.com/index.cgi
Rite heres the process of the face to make it removable: all oi need to do is another coat pf green and her number D1

Daisy turned out much better then I thought, and very realistic, well done Henryblue! ;)
great work man you should sell the directions online so other people can try to build them :o keep up the good work
(http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/657/dsc0009bp9.jpg)
its far from finished though:P I wan2 fully detail the buffer beams as they should be rather than how they are in the book but then again was she altered like that for a reason? I seriously need information like this to produce correct RWS to be happy with but its extremly frustrating.
I never think my models are perfect and i want them to be, Gavin seems to think they are correct :P
I found a good picture of a fully detailed 101 bufferbeam, so i could work from that, i dunno really
(http://railcar.co.uk/pics/Preserved/100-109/101/wensleydale/bw01.jpg)
RWS spot on models is what i want thats why Ive desicussed it endlessly with Gavin and Sean about Thomas I & II, Percy, Toby, Duck, Diesel. loads more that i cant remember :P
I got my Bachmann Thomas II to complete aswell as starting off my Hornby Thomas II, poor Gavin having me drag him into another investagation by telling him the information about his running plate, so weve got another project to do :P lol Hornby E2 Thomas with lowerd footplate :P
Thomas I must of been given bigger wheels when he came to Sodor, why else would he have splashers when he had a rasied bufferbeam too? and after the breakfast, his full footplate was lowerd but the splashers were made bigger, still reaching the same book hight, the top of his smokebox supports.
That is somthing correct that has been included in The Bachmann Thomas and can be seen in this photo of my RWS Bachmann Thomas II but you can see the wheels are too small for the splasher and need to be spread apart more (longer chassis)
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/879/ffarqhuartomwf6.jpg)
I have to scratchbuild the cab on my Duck, I m using an ancient Mainline Model, so i had to pain the GWR, bad work on it though ill just get a print of it and get the etched numberplates and do what rightfully shoud be on his bufferbeams, His GWR Number
(http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4149/dsc0002lk1.jpg)
Adam, may as well say this here, you could do daisy's bufferbeam by sourcing around for a Bachmann class 25 detailing kit, the pipes etc are practically the same, and using that? They are not too hard to come by, you could use similar parts though! ;D
Daisy looks great, and the face idea is genious. Wilbert Awdry would have been proud of your Daisy, and so would Spong! Well done mate, you deserve a pint after that.
Just a thought, are you going to have a tension lock on the back so she can pull the milk tanker/van?
I Think Dasiy Looks like a TV model for TTTE.
Weren't you paying attention? This is the RWS version of the Daisy model. :P
Need to find the parts to finish James, more realistic break pipe, Cut down Hornby 3F Tender, Proper Handrails and a Valve gear. Basically the same as Daisy
They arnt anywhere near finished Im gonna cut Toby's doorways and stuff out and give him a detailed interior

Wow, man. They both are mind-blowing. :o
that part inside james's face that is a clip on so you could've pulled that out before glueing
James and Toby look awesome, well done HenryBlue. ;)
I havent glued anything on the smokebox, Ive got 4 different facial expressions for James, so i haveto change them round, plus i removed the eye mech for space for a smoke generator so you kno, its def not staying there :P
Wow. Its like you making the paintings from the RWS 3D! Im very imprested. Glad you sorted out the moulded bell cable on Toby. It gets on my nerves.
This is very inspiring. Makes me want to have a go. Any 'easy' project recomendations HenryBlue?
ya, toby with only a repaint, others need cutting and stuff
Percys got a new chassis, Needs a new face, the ERTL One is too small, proplem is its already cut off, I could try and make it bigger, I dunno, Toby needs some more wood panels and aswel, a smaller face
(http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/461/dsc0001wh7.jpg)
Well,Thomas's front should curve downward as shown in the show and all the
books before Stepney the Bluebell Engine.Take a look at a real E2.The running
plate curves down at the front.And all the illustrators prior to Peter and Gunvor Edwards portrayed this.When the illustrator of the Christopher Awdry era arrived he was unaware and didn't correct Thomas's appearance.
Not sure if you’d be up to it HenryBlue but I have an idea you could try. Why not make a green James like the one that was in the Christopher Awdry story Thomas and the Breakdown Train. It’s just an idea you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. :-\

He was Black, Lined with Red actually.
Hey Corrie. Good too.. uh... "see" you.
Sparks and StanierJack definetly HAVE BRAINS thankyou, intelligence hit the fourm :P THANKYOU
soz but ''ZeldaTheSwordsman" and "FPTP-Man"(corrie) do not have brains to understand the RWS... oh well :P
anyways Thomas has been started again, the front was already straitend almost 1 nd a half years ago and its been continued now :P its still got LOADS to be done still, new bunker, Funel bufferbeam detail, valve, chassis fittings that are seem ont he front cover of a detailed painting of thomas on the cover of the 1979 annual, Percy is similar I had to totally rebuild a different hornby chassis, using parts from different chassis and i scratch built the cylynders but they are still damaged from when i removed them the 1st time they were attached. The face is still too small i fink, the saddletank is straightend and the smokebox is lowerd, Gordon to be started soonage ;)

Thomas and Percy look really nice! I love how wonderful they turned out, I can't wait to see more of your work in the future! ;)
Your Going to start on Gordon, Yay. Time for a proper loco :P.
Have to say Thomas looks stunning, the colour is just right.

He was Black, Lined with Red actually.
Not a bad idea, I might just do that as no one else has, James in black with red lining, of corce! It makes so much sence, it will just be a respray. Now all i need is a Bachmann James. (goes on ebay) LOL ;D
Making the black James actually sounds like a good idea, for some strange reason I can picture anybody making the Black James model and making him look emo. XD
Chaz, you brain has been eatin away slightly by some of the tards on this fourm, Thomas is NOT finished yet by miles, read the mesage and how on earth can a LMS Black liveried James look emo?
I knew that Thomas wasn't finished henryblue, I was just commenting on how nice they looked, I'm sorry that there is something wrong with that...
Also that was just a joke I made up to mess with you guys, no harm done. :P
Quote from: HenryBlue on January 20, 2008, 04:24:11 PMhow on earth can a LMS Black liveried James look emo?
Tghe black and red stripes, plus he'd be depressed after his accident when Black. lol. I might make him just like that for a laff, complete with the trademark fringe. lol (again)
I dont think there was such a thing as an 'Emo' in the 1920's.
Hey HenryBlue in one of your model episodes you had an engine named Kenneth. Did you use him to make Daisy? Looks to me like you did since Kenneth is a 101 class DMU. :-\

Being emo is depression. I'm sure it was around, just a bit different, and not called "emo." Course I dunno the history of Emos. :P
Emo, is short for emotional, and began in the 80's. Depression is one to itself.

Well what i ment was is that there were not people in skinny jeans with black with big long fringes. This being the Emo trend or dress code. :P
But really, do i need to be saying this? Arent we ment to be talking about Adams Sodor engines?
Yes we are Max. ;) Now as Chaz would say at a time like this. ;D
BOT
Anyways Henryblue how are things with Thomas currently, and how are your finished projects running at the moment?
Well Work On RWS Gordon has started and when ill be waiting for bits to dry ill finish thomas and when they are Done, RWS Henry ill be next ;)
(http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/7757/dsc0023jb9.jpg)
Ahhh... Nice work. That is a Bachmann Gordon with a Hornby James tender I presume?
Gordon looks like he will turn very nice once he is done I can just tell! ;)
Also Henry sounds like a really good idea, good luck on him (Even though you haven't started on him yet) the same goes for finishing Thomas and Gordon! ;D
NO-ONE CARES ABOUT MY MODELS!!!
UPDATE, Gordon 2 RWS illustration style, btw this has jhad alot of bashing done to it, took on MTF, anyway Gordon Reaved the blue after I fnished off making the Pony wheel, looks quite neat acculy, yey
(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2452/dsc0027et6.jpg)
Nice work mate, Gordon looks really nice so far! :)
And I care about your models a lot man, I would hate it if you thought that I felt otherwise. ;)
Come to think of it if thats a Hornby James's tender and a Bachmann Gordon then that thing will have a heck of allot of pulling power. Keep up the good work HenryBlue. B.T.W. I also care allot about your models. ;)
Not 100% shure on the colour but apart from that its spot on. Still trying to find all the little bits you have done to it. Great work.
Gordon looks great! can't wait to see what it looks like when its completely finished.
Urm updates... :P

(http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3192/dsc0158gi2.jpg)
Looks like ive died and gone to Sodor. :P great stuff. As for Percy, you might as well build one from scratch :P I hope the Hornby shassis are alright for you. As Im not shure the jerky running would make me happy.
Adam, look into some modelflex paint, Its MUCH thinner.
http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?quick=modelflex&start=0
Nice job Henryblue, good luck on Percy ;)
Well,the Bachmann Percy's chassis models Percy's siderods more accurately.I
don't know why you used the Hornby one.

What are the names of the paint that you used for those superb models?
