You are like those kids who think every loco is Thomas... whoops, wrong
thread ;-)

But that’s humorously apropos! :-)

Thats a really nice interpretation. Interesting that you’ve not gone down the
SNOT lining route, I’m still in two minds as to whether its a good thing on a
model this size.
|
Thanks, IMO it is too small to snot lining. Even the 10 wide version I’m
working on is too small. That, or I’m too lazy...;-)

My impression is that the proportions are more those of
Thomas from the film than Thomas from the Rev Awdrey book, which isn’t a
critism, more an observation that you have looked carefully enough to capture
them. No coupling rods?
|
Yeah, I’m working exclusively from the videos-- never actually seen an Awdrey
book before:-0 I’ve seen a few pics from them, and it is my impression that the
illustrations are a bit more “prototypical” in rendering than the vids.
As for the rods-- I hate the way the technic lift arms look, and Ross is too
busy applying for college to consult. And that spacing looks rather tricky...
