The magic isn’t gone, it will live on.

Without her vision, I wouldn’t be here amongst some of my dearest friends. Nor would I be the man I am today.

Thank you, Britt.

Thank you for everything.

Rest in Peace 🕊️

A redo of my Edwards Exploit drawing from ages ago, now in traditional mixed media!

I felt like I didn't capture the mood I wanted last time when I looked it over again (to the horror of everyone who got to see this early. Thank you for gassing up the old one, and keeping me motivated through the making of this)

this version is much more directly studied off the Peter and Gunvor Edwards' illustration, because I've grown into the opinion that the model adaptation of exploit was really weak (technical limitations!!! what a shame) and i want to get back into studying these illustrations, there's a lot to pick apart in them.

Here's a bunch of perspective lines i drew over it when I was sketching. (I don't normally do that when I redraw, but that's usually because I'm drawing from model era screencaps and I can rely on those being proportional, most of the time) Edwards face breaks perspective here just a bit to add more drama to the scene, everything else is proportional.

some in-progress pictures, during which I absolutely HATED how it looked and wanted to switch to digital because I feared I'd messed it up irreconcilably 😭 good thing I was able to look at it with fresh eyes after staring at it for like four hours, the first session of drawing ended at 1am. Believe me, if you hate how your drawing is turning out, put it down and come back to it later!!

Edward is also more referenced off a real K2 here because I really like how they look. Unfortunately they have painful geometry.

something frustrating about my traditional drawings is how they can't be viewed from multiple angles online. I use silver gel pen to highlight some parts (here it's Edward's handrails and the damage) but it doesn't show up well when I photograph it head on. I hope this picture shows a little bit of how it shows up in real life!

(if you can't see, look at the bottom of Edward's boiler bands)

Hopefully you enjoyed reading under the cut :] I like explaining my process and I appreciate it immensely when someone shares my enthusiasm for it.

With the focus on Sir Handel at this year's Awdry Extravaganza, I thought it would be appropriate to redraw the poster design used when Sir Handel last visited in 1983!

I used Corris no. 10 as the design basis, since it'll be the one playing the role of Sir Handel.

every year but awesome

PRIORITY ALERT:

NEW ROLLING STOCK NOW AVAILABLE TO ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL

after many months of waiting and redesigning, I am proud to present the Combine Razor Train!

Consisting of two locomotives and three wagons, this is my most complex and piece-intensive build ever. And boy am I happy with it!

“His funnel was bent. Bits of fencing, the bush, and a broken window frame festooned his front, which was badly twisted… He looked comic!”

"The man on duty at the street crossing rushed to warn traffic with his red flag, but was too late to switch Percy to the runaway siding. A slow-moving cockerel lost his tail feathers as Percy thundered across..." My entry for the Talyllyn Railway's #JustLikeAwdry diorama challenge! I thought it would be fun to work within the limitations of LEGO (and also because I am rubbish at 'proper' modeling 😅)

I think it turned out alright!
