It started off as a plain resin kit in need of a chassis, and after a couple weeks work, has been finished as a Thomas The Tank Engine character that runs like a charm.
Boco, has been finished in a plasti-kote 'Garden Green', with Humbrol Satin Red, Satin Black, Light Grey and Gloss White. The numbers and crests/emblems are by HMRS transferes. The chassis is a modified LIMA Class 52 'Western', and the face, is made from rubber modelling latex instead of plaster, as the plaster moulds always broke as they were so brittle.
Overall, an enjoyable project, this is infact my second attempt at making a Co-Bo from a Silver Fox kit, as my first went all horribly wrong when i got the wrong paints.
But, this time, it has been a great success, and you can be sure that where there is Boco, Daisy will follow also, but that wll have to wait for another time. ;)
