Buying custom models? Sign me up!
I would SO want my own Bachmann Splatter and Dodge... (without moving eyes, lol) although the only bad thing would involve many 'Arry and Bert's turning in faceless Class 08s. (kind of like if the Thomas universe was real and they had no faces like real engines do)

How long does it take to complete a model or a pair of engine twins, Stepney?

I'm sorry


you have to type on tiny or non-existent(touch-screen) keys.  I was so happy to get a computer so my ipod would just be for music, some youtube and my camera.  but still awesome! may i ask. is it an iPhone, or an alternitave.  like RIM or nexus?

If i had my own business set up for making custom Thomas items, i would happily take commissions and propositions for characters, but sadly, my with my working life, i only get evenings to work on projects, since most weekends i am away up country seeing my partner on a regular basis.

I am truly honored to hear that so many here like what i've done with my models so far, and i will continue to model characters, no matter how much of a challenge they turn out to be, it's all for fun at the end of the day, there is no competition regarding who can model what characters better e.t.c.


Modelling is a adult hobby, a hobby that is supposed to be about working on building up skills and giving advice to others and showing what you can do with a bit of time, patience and hard work over time, not about how to be elitist and shunning everyone else's efforts. I have come across many posts here on this sort of topic, and i think that many people here have a lot of great skills, and i for one, hope that everyone else's model projects, turn out as good as what mine have.

I'm always happy to lend a hand where needed, hence why i created my blog, Facebook page and model forum.

He wasn't asking us we were asking him if he would be willing, so I don't think it's a violation as we would have taken the sale somewhere else. We merely suggested the idea.

Where in any of the posts above, is payment being asked for or mentioned?

I don't see any, since nobody was asking, and more to the point, neither was i.

Its a shame they didnt return after the movie like Lady and Diesel 10 did even it was only a few cameos. Very nice models and layout too.
