    Default Thomas and Percy

    Hi,

    Here are a couple of trains that I made for the boys. Thomas and Percy from Thomas the Tank Engine fame. The main body is made from 4" square fence post offcuts and then offcuts from other jobs. I love using old bits. The fun bit was the painting and keeping the boys away from them until they dried.

    Awesome job! My oldest son loves Thomas! I might have to make these bad boys.

    Excellent work. Did you draw and paint Thomas's face as well.

    I like your concepts.

    Hi,

    The faces were found on the internet and printed out then glued on and varnished. Not real good at the arty stuff.

    Well done. I am not also hence the reason for my question.

    The colours are fantastic, so something is starting to show in your creative side.
