I read it as: He's SHUNTING

[@youchoob8090]

Ya know, I’m starting to get the impression this guy doesn’t like sanding. Or is it just me?

[@rudhramovies9220]

na he loves it

[@MasterMario63]

He must love it! 😊

[@ww08]

it's just you

[@THE-OUT-SIDE-FRAME-PORTER]

Yeah you’re right I’m pretty sure it’s his favorite thing to do while working on a model train

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Sometimes, a master is at work. Other times, the master is so good at that work it doesn’t even look like it IS that. ❤️‍🔥

[@thomasthetankman111]

To see this finally done is actually great to see. After all the months of WIP you sent us the finished project is worth it! Good to see you back! I expect more soon my son!

[@BrendenReis10]

It's really funny to see it all come together after such a long time. I'll try my best father 💙

[@thebachboyimtoolazytoedit2825]

You mean journal boxes on Gordon's tender right journal boxes? That's what you mean right cuz those are journals

[@MasterOfTheLemons]

You have taken literally all my breath away. That face is so lively and proud, that vibrant blue hue and that brilliant sheen! MMMMM he's gorgeous I can't stop looking at him

[@BrendenReis10]

THANK YOU 💙 He really does feel alive and proud rn, I'm happy with how he's turned out. I'm very proud of this one tbh. Hope to see you again at a train show or something in the near future!!

[@MasterOfTheLemons]

@@BrendenReis10 For sure Brenden, same here! I'll be at Edison in a few weeks so if you happen to be going I'll see you there

[@TheTrainModeller]

Brenden this model of Gordon is SUPERB! He looks so good - straight out of the model series for sure. Absolutely fantastic work. Can't wait to see who is next.

[@BrendenReis10]

Thank you Lucas!! I'm glad people think he looks good, is hard for me to like what I make. This helps a LOT Hmmm probably the red guy at the end.. not sure tho.. 🤔

[@FaysalIsGoated]

My favorite Gordon quotes: “Disgraceful!” “Oh the Indignity!” “A goods train! The shame of it!”

[@LetsJustin]

The main things that make him so beautiful are the super clean face without 3D-printing marks and the PERFECT color!

[@alfredofeddy9974]

The way Gordon turned into a boss it's hilarious 4:34

[@AirwolfCrazy]

This was really impressive! I added DCC, custom sounds, and head light to my son's Gordon model. He is now an adult and still loves running Gordon. Doing what you have done here would be the new evaluation.

[@BrendenReis10]

That's so cool! Do you have any videos of it posted? I'd love to check it out. I definitely want to give my model smoke and sounds eventually, smoke, at the least for sure 👌🏼

[@ThePolarExpress1225Productions]

"MMM LOOK AT THIS MAN!" and "LOOK AT THAT NICE BOGIE!" Those lines made me laugh so hard i was crying on the floor

[@gregpokes1]

This is by FAR the most impressive pice of OO Thomas modeling I have seen to date! He looks absolutely stunning! Well done, friend!!

[@BrendenReis10]

Thank you very much!

[@justsomeguy5628]

Damn, this model looks incredible! A very fitting level of work for such a prestigious engine. You can really tell just how care was put into this.

[@LeadPaintCrisis]

Gordon looks stunning! Love how he looks up against those express coaches too. Nice work :)

[@BrendenReis10]

Thank you! I can't take credit for the coaches though, those are by Green's Trains!

[@all-starcustoms8554]

What an amazing model!! Big, fast, and proud definitely describes Gordon!!

[@trainstorm1225]

Another killer model, Brenden and of course a great video to go along with him! I’m always super impressed with your clean work and I’m super pumped to see who you have for us next! 💙✨

[@BrendenReis10]

Awh thank you dude! Can't wait to show off the one with the red paint work soon 🙌

[@stepney_studios]

This model is so wonderful! This is definitely a looker. Great job!

[@NextEevolution]

This is a spectacular model of Gordon. Seeing it in motion pulling a rake of coaches really made it seem as if I was seeing the original TV show model. You should be absolutely proud of it! I absolutely understand the massive frustration over obsessing over small details. It was definitely worth it in the end.

[@KameronCousin]

You've done an awesome job, Brenden! This model of Gordon looks spectacular! 👌

[@TidmouthYard]

Loved watching this (and the last one about Thomas). The work and dedication that goes into making these accurate is incredible! Looking forward to the next one :D

[@BrendenReis10]

I try my best to keep my perfectionist side to a minimum haha, it's hard but I'm happy you like the outcome, can't wait to show off RWS stuff later on 😘

[@SodorEngines912]

Awesome Gordon model! I’m in awe of how you managed to make the TOMY face look season 3 worthy.

[@FlyingPringleJJ]

I didn’t think a model could be so mouthwatering to look at

[@BrendenReis10]

Have you looked in the mirror? 😍

[@JacobTrain]

Love your work man You did amazing work on the Gordon and Thomas

[@_casey_idk_]

I love all your models, they look so goood!

[@EngineShedStudios]

He is STUNNING. Well done again Brenden! Sodor wouldn’t be the same without him!

[@thesudriana016]

You did such a grand job replicating what Gordon's S3 model is (though I do like him in S5 look cause he feels real and glorious, but still). I'll admit, it would feel like a trial and error going through such a tedious process with bodyshells and chassis, but in the end whether good or not, it looks great even when running on camera.

[@altermike3197]

[@GeohToy]

I actually designed the lining that George printed at 3:26, (like as in I did the pattern in photoshop, and he cut it out with his circuit) honestly amazing to see how far it’s gone and all the projects it’s been used on. If you need any in future for other characters feel free to hmu.

[@DCCSodor2]

Look Gary there I am!! In all seriousness an excellent model, I love seeing and being inspired by everyone’s processes! I can’t wait to see the lighting features if you decide to add them! Although I don’t have any plans in the near future to do a proper Gordon model this has really made me want to😅

Nice work! I know how this feels! Nearly finished with my Bachmann Large Scale Thomas. I’m doing modifications with a larger scale for now so I can work my way into HO Scale. Gotta take learning steps if you know ya know! If I may make a suggestion go on Bachmann’s service department and get Spencer’s pistons and wheel set. That’s what I’m gonna do when I make a custom Gordon and Henry.

[@BrendenReis10]

Thank you! Definitely a unique look, but while going for accuracy, it doesn't fit what I'm going for :/ The red lining changes EVERYTHING HEH

[@peterglass8657]

[@DucksTrains]

Great Model! I actually kinda like the tomy face the model!

[@tonyshoemaker5218]

Brenden- I would strongly recommend you start doing wet sanding. While the technique seems to take more time, it actually allows your sandpaper to cut faster and more smoothly. And you can find all kinds of great sanding tools thru MicroMark. They literally have every tool you will ever need. Oh- I have a cheap airbrush that I bought at Harbor Freight years ago and its still working- I dont’ think I paid more than $30 for it, and it works like a champ. Your modeling work is so strong- if you take the step into wet sanding and airbrushing, you are going to be soooo happy with the results.

[@BrendenReis10]

That's something I'd absolutely love to do, when I can afford to buy new stuff. The wet sanding I actually do uh, do! Lol, but I guess I never talked about it enough? I guess I choose entertainment value over being extremely detailed haha. But I do! And continue to use it more, it's so good 👍 Thank you for your kind comment ✨️💙

[@BrendenReis10]

Awh thank you so much! He really does have a handsome face huh?

[@gordontheengineswifedr.nirmal]

@@BrendenReis10 he does indeed. I remember watching the show when I was around 12-13 in the mid 90’s. I honestly only remembered Thomas n the conductors from back then. Last year, at 39, I rediscovered Thomas. I went thru all the seasons and films in order. I remember watching Gordon’s introduction in the first episode, and had to pause for healthy gawk. I’ll b a lady about this lol but suffice to say I was in awe. Never thought I’d drool over a railway engine. Never thought I’d call a railway engine insanely sexy. Literally gasped. I was hooked - more than the first time. Sodor is just full of rampant handsomeness. This has caused an a extreme addition to general decor. The original theme was cats and butterflies. Now it’s got a healthy dose of gordon n the gang.
