Puffing Along and Future Focus

Although this project has not gained as many supporters as hoped by this point, I am going to continue to make it better and hope to finally get the stories I have promised out. I leave with this "good things come to those who are patient." and I believe you will all like what is to come for this project. Till next time everyone and Brick On!!

New Face and Group Photo

As requested by many people, I have redesigned Thomas's face. I am contemplating whether to make the face one solid piece and it would be molded to look like the one is the TV series. I will continue to experiment with the face design, but please let me know what you all think and if the one molded piece would be better. There is a group photo of the engines I have built so far with two more on the way. Also, I have not forgotten about the stories, the first one will be out soon, there have been many obstacles though. I thank you all for your support and patience. Until next time, Brick On!

Teaser

As my computer is now fixed I can continue with my plan. Unfortunately Halloween has passed and it the episode was to be released then, but I am still going to show it for all of those who would still like a spooky story. This is just a teaser of what the story is. I leave you all till tomorrow with this question, do you know the legend?

Enter Percy

In this update, I am showing the Percy model I am going to use in the stories. I hope you enjoy the design and please comment if you like the build or if you see anything I can improve. I plan on launching phase two this Saturday and I am going to put these models (besides the Thomas set) on the Lego Digital Designer gallery page for anyone who wishes to build the models or scenes for themselves. All copyrights go to Hit entertainment for the characters and the stories, since the ones I will be telling are from the original Railway Series by Rev. W. Awdry. The Lego versions of the characters are of my own design though. I hope you all like it and what is to come. A teaser for the first story will be posted tomorrow. Till then, Brick on!

New Scenery, Character, and Carriages (coaches)

Hello everyone, In this update I have created Thomas's shed, which can be found on his branch line. In the picture you see below, Thomas is in his shed talking to Sir Topham Hatt about two engines that are coming to assist him. Along the side of the shed the passenger coaches rested on a siding waiting for Thomas to bring them back to Knapford station. 

Mean while as Sir Topham and Thomas spoke, Thomas asked. "who are the engines?"

Sir Topham turned to Thomas and said, "They are your old friends" he chuckled, "One of them is arriving right now"

Thomas looked up to find Toby steaming into the yard.

"Welcome Toby!" Thomas shouted as he whistled as hard as he could.

"Thank you Thomas, I am glad to be back to help out. I missed working here! " exclaimed Toby

Both friends let a gush a steam and slowly chuffed back into the shed to rest and to get ready for a full day of work.

I hoped you all enjoy it, there is plenty more on the way.

Updated Imagery

In this update I changed the shading on the bricks to get them to look more realistic. I would also like to take this time to say thank you to everyone for supporting this project and giving me advise on what I can do to make it better. I am currently working on a big project for the second phase of this model. I will release some images of the new areas and trains once I have completed most of them or they become heavily requested. Thank you all again.

Updated line detail

In the previous update I added the red lines you see all over Thomas, in this update I fixed how some of them looked since I was not too pleased with how the lines on the water tanks looked. Hope you all like the improvements.
