After a hard month's work with
@JoCat105
,
@the_runesmith
,
@tacticiankate
, and
@Boo_Rad13y
, it's time for a well-earned rest🥪🧃
A massive thank you to all of you guys. It's bonkers how much things have skyrocketed, and I'm so warmed and honored to have been a part it with y'all
I didn't expect my gals to get so popular ;_;
I'm gonna squeeze you all into juice thank you guys so much 😭
Y'all are gonna push me to get back into animating these guys again (this was a test from January 2023 LOL). I don't think I touched my youtube channel in YEARS
And of course we have our Very Useful Lad 💙
What do y'all think I should call this little AU?
My brain wants to go with "Tales of Thomas & his Tank Engine", but I'm not sure if that's taken already lol 🚂💙
What an amazing weekend with the
@NWModelers
crew!! It was an honor bringing Miss Rimley and Mr. Roy to life for the Railway Museum of Long Island! They'll take good care of y'all!
See you guys next year!!! 💙
A little Lady for our little story seems about right! A long lost conductor finds her way back to the magical land of Sodor ✨
I watched TATMR for the first time a few months ago and it was such a fun movie!
Who's next on the list? 🚂
#ThomasandhisTankEngineAU
#TTTE
Continuing on the womengine train by offering y'all a Stirling mother figure
💚🚂🖤
Emily is probably one of my higher tier favorites in the series so far
My first Trackmaster custom! It was a lot of fun painting something larger for a change. Extending his cab was a challenge, but I think he came out alright ❤️🚂
Hopefully will get him running on some track soon! ✨
if you're sad this is a sign to draw your two biggest comfort characters as the steven meme. yeah my ocs my comfort character. yeah my ooak lagoonas my comfort character.
YES It just feels like Thomas still has so much potential to remain a family franchise, and not just a watered down patronizing children's IP like it's become.
There was something so raw and nurturing about the model series, and that's what gave it so much charm, you know? 🧵
I hope the crew over at
@McLeodGaming
are proud to know that my partner
@WaveParadigm
has been unable to stop playing the Fraymakers theme on any instrument he is able to find (It is pretty hype though)
Looking back through my silly human doodles, I think this episode was the most character action and best guttural line delivery I've ever seen from James. If I reanimated a scene (which I know some very talented people have), it'd be this one LOL
He was experiencing EMOTION
On a less elongated note, Mother Emily is finally finished! Long funnel n' all 💚🚂 So proud of how she turned out.
She'll be out on display at the upcoming Edison show! Hope to see y'all there!
Grandma's been cookin' 👏
Nylint Thomas is a commissioned custom for
@BuffersAndRoses
, and motorized TWR Thomas chassis was purchased from
@jgeist2003
!
TWR's funnel remains squimshed because I can't cut metal (yet) lmao
Chugging into some particularly confused and delayed activities this weekend 🚂
Catch y'all at the Greenberg Toy Train Show and
@unlikelyfandom
screening premiere! 💙
I got so emotional after you left. Being able to watch her leave with someone who will cherish her was the biggest highlight of the whole weekend 💖🫂 Thank you so much for making this passion project worth the effort and love.
Hope you made it home safe and sound!
I also purchased some souvenirs and a wonderfully customized Wooden Railway Lady with accompanying tank car, all made by Erin of Little Blue Railway, a very friendly and talented artist. Well worth meeting and seeing such beautiful creations.
"We're coming along!"
"We're coming along!"
Annie and Clarabel are finally finished! ✨ Two lovely ladies for a lovely blue tank engine 🤎🤎
I wonder who made them? 🤔
Finally, you can now have your own Personal James Torture Device™ 🚂✌️ Er, I mean turntable spinner keychain.
I'll be selling them at the upcoming Edison show, but feel free to DM for details if you can't make it in March!
This was probably my most ambitious custom yet.
He originally came with the Classic Lionel James face, but no cab roof. So I ordered some replacements and hand sculpted some parts. Currently waiting for my lockon to come in so I can see if he even runs 😩 Wish me luck!
So excited to share with y'all Tavern Crawl!! I've had the pleasure of working on this with
@JoCat105
,
@the_runesmith
,
@annapantsu
,
@tacticiankate
and
@Boo_Rad13y
for the past month! Very glad to be a part of such a great crew!!! Thank you all so much for the great opportunity!!
Hey, so uh
I might be looking for Percy, Edward, and Henry voice actors for a little... project 👉👈👀
Picture is unrelated, but here to attract your eyeballs
Just finished this boy! There's a black boxy bit on the back of the cab I still need to make, but overall I think he's lookin pretty alright 🥺
#NWModelers
Now I sleeb
Now that the Edison show is all wrapped up, I'm hoping to get my Etsy page up and running soon. So excited to show y'all what Grandma's been cookin' up 🚂 💙
The little guys have nice little mirror stands now!
All TWR, Take Along, and smaller models will come with a free little display stand 💙✨ Can't wait to show these guys off at Edison! Hope to see y'all there!!
So I'm looking to sell my first custom repaint wooden Thomas with hand sculpted additions.
Currently asking $125 plus shipping. I will provide spare couplers and buffers as they are pretty fragile. Would anyone be interested?
A sweet little Lady gets a sweet little face 💖
Still touching up some parts. Hopefully will be able to have her on display for sale at Edison, along with her tanker.
One more day!!! Come drop by my table for a chance to win my custom Trackmaster James!!
Raffle will be held up until the drawing at 3:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon!
All Aboard! We're heading back to the Railroad Museum of Long Island on June 22nd & 23rd! There's lots to expect such as the OO Layout, the FFarquhar Layout, a gauge 1 Display, and a merch table run by
@RunningSumErins
!
There's more surprises in store, stay tuned!
I guess this is my chance to say that if anyone has any broken/failed custom TWR models that they're looking to get rid of, I will gladly take them off your hands!
Little Blue Railway is my restoration project where I recycle rough looking models into handpainted keepsakes 💙
Look, I'm just sayin if I wrote a TTTE movie with my experience in tv animation: a villain is going to get scrapped, there'll be drama among the drivers, and there'll be meaningful character development.
Put 👏 Thomas 👏 Characters 👏 In 👏 More 👏 Near 👏 Death 👏 Experiences
Y'ALL??? I legit can't thank you guys enough for all your love and support.
To celebrate this milestone - I'm finally putting together a proper YouTube channel to post painting process videos, train show vlogs, and anything else you guys would like to see! 💙 What do you think?
Decompressing from the crazy weekend with some warmup doodles and tiger balm because my body ✨ a c h e s ✨
Daisy's been buzzing around in my brain as of lately lmao. Would love to clean this up someday
Prolly done for the evening. Touched up his funnel shape. Still have his rear coupler to make and I think I want to sculpt physical whistles for him instead. What a lad
A totally not ttte related post, but a happy one!
Just got assigned to a doctor to start testosterone for gender neutralization and muscle growth to help with my hEDS!! 💙💙💙
Keeping fingers crossed!!
Happy Pride, y'all!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Some people sleep at 2 a.m.
Some people buy sculpey and fuckin cook
Behold: The Teeniest Thomas 🚂
I've got t-gauge wheels for him once he's ready for baking and painting. My little mental health reward after a hectic week of choir prep and two 16-song long concerts 😭
Come get your t-gauge dinner you heathens. Have to make Henry in stages, but I managed to remake Thomas' face to look less zooted out of his mind lmaooo
And as I've mentioned before, all models that haven't sold at the show will be up on my Etsy store later this week! Oliver and Toad need some touching up yet, but they'll all be available very soon! 💙
Thank you all so much again for the incredible weekend!! 🥹
