Donald Update!

A quick update on the Donald Project:


The body is almost complete, today, the splashers have all been fixed to the underside of the main boiler. The dome, safety valves, whistle and cab roof have all been added this afternoon, and so far, the model is starting to look like the tv model of Donald, which is what i was aiming for and have almost reached my goal in making him come to life.

The buffer beam is at current being prepared to have sprung buffers and screw link added, these will be added tomorrow if not this evening. I shall post more images tomorrow of the models current state.I am hoping to have the tender started either tomorrow or in the week as i am now off work on holiday for a whole week. So i can spend some time adding further details to the model then, and hopefully, have the body ready for priming.

I am happy with the progress of the model, so far, everything is going according to plan, and i won't be suprised if this model isn't already the first to be modelled from scratch using plastikard by other Thomas Modellers out there.

  2. Unfortunately, all of the models here i have made are custom built, some have either been rendered from other models or built entirely from scratch, so i'm afraid that you won't find them in any stores anywhere around the world
