Wasn't entirely sure if this would fit under TrackMaster or Modification Gallery so I placed it here.Â Made it a different thread so I'd stop clogging the "W...

Is that a textured blue paint from a can or airbrushed Ffar?

FfarquharDeveloper

Airbrushed.

4/24/21 Update

Did a bit more work with Sir Handel and Duncan.

Sir Handel:
The paintjob is basically complete now, he just needs stickers and a clear coat.

Duncan:
Almost fully painted, just missing the gold detailing.
(Foreground; both images)

The 4 Pairs of Annie and Clarabel:
Doused down in rubbing alcohol to remove dirt before priming sometime in the coming days.

Looking good Ffar. Do you make the stickers yourself and is the clear coat applied over the stickers?

@[deleted] they look great, good luck with them!

4/25/21 Update 1

Duncan:
Fully painted and just awaiting stickers. Sir Handel also appears in the photos sometimes but he's already at the same stage as Duncan is.

Skarloey Coaches:
yeah, so this is what I needed the Annie and Clarabels for.
I primed them with a light grey Tamiya rattle-can primer

Then I started painting them up with Vallejo Acrylic paints.

The next update probably won't be for quite a bit of time due to school.

4/25/21 Update 2
Sir Handel:
Completed with the addition of eight stickers.

Duncan:
Completed with the addition of ten stickers.

I do the decals in a program called paint.net then one of my parents prints them out since they work with stickers and a Cricut printer quite often.
The clear coat isn't applied over the stickers, they're either just left paper or they're laminated.

Since we're at the end of the month I thought now would be a good time to post all my stuff from the previous two months in a video.

The new Annie and Clarabel as narrow gauge coaches will look nicer with the old style engines. In addition to the smaller chassis, the windows being closer together also makes them more accurate than the official versions. I know the NG coaches had faces like A&C's in Season 4, but I still think you should've sanded the moulded features before priming.

Great idea for replacing the fake rods with something new, well done 🙂

DalaGStanator

What a highly impressive and unexpected method. Makes more sense than the idea I had for him or Skarloey (normal rods with black at the trailing wheels). While I'm not really a fan of the "TOMY Oliver style", I do know there's no other way to do it. One time, I recall you showed Edward rods for an upcoming project and I thought that was what they were for, but you answered in the negative. Hoping you could do the same with Skarloey too. Good work.

"Hoping you could do the same with Skarloey too. Good work."

Yes! I do indeed have plans to pull the exact same modification on Skarloey as well, I was never really a fan of those static rods on most engines.

5.6.21 Update

Mostly Face repaints this update.

Thomas:
Repainted his face to match the expression from when he's on the flatbed in Trust Thomas.

Bill and Ben:
Faces repainted to match their faces from "We'll do it wrong!" from Bill, Ben, & Fergus.

Murdoch:
Face repainted to match his face in Peace and Quiet better.

Arthur:
Face repainted to uh IDK it's just some random series 8 episode.

Peter Sam:
Actual photo for the site this time.

Scottish John:
Okay, I actually bothered to do some work with him again, did a bit of patching up.

Super

I really like your idea of painting the faces to look like they were in a particular episode Ffar...nice work 🙂

5/27/2021 Update

No new photos unfortunately for this update and probably no new photos at all until the week of the 25th of July as I'm working on a ton of things to reveal at the Entertrainment Junction Extravaganza.

However, there are some things that will be shown off on the 29th of July earliest and the 31st of July at the latest:

Projects 1, 2, & 3 (All three will be shown off at the event, 1 and 3 are complete, I still need to buy something off eBay for 2.)
Old Shape Henry
Bluebell
Old Slow Coach
Oliver
Lady
Wilbert
Fergus
Diesel 10
Splatter & Dodge
Skarloey
Peter Sam
Skarloey Railway Blue Coaches
Skarloey Railway Red Coaches

There will be photos of a lot of these projects around two months from Today, it's just that a ton of these will be entertrainment reveals.
I might throw in a photo on this post each week (maybe) on each Friday slowly as to still have stuff for revealing at the event.

Super

Wow...you will have an exhibit at ' Enter-train-ment Junction' Ffar? Have you done this before?

FfarquharDeveloper

There's an event that the Tank Engine Society is hosting at the end of July and I'm collaborating with a few other users and revealing a few things there, and no I have not done this before.

TheDiamondDalek

This may sound like a really dumb question but uh, what's entertrainment junction?

FfarquharDeveloper

from a google search:

"EnterTRAINment Junction is an indoor model railroad display located in West Chester Township, Ohio. This 25,000 square foot display consists of over 90 G-scale trains encompassing the early era of American railroading, the middle era, and the modern era." - Wikipedia
