Making Percy | Caleb's Trains HO/OO

[@Legomastr365]

Nothing is ever easy with Percy. He looks really good! When working with car paints and enamel paints I've learned it's best to put a clear coat on top of it before doing anything else since they aren't really made for plastics

[@Calebtrain]

So I've discovered...! A clear coat is an idea and a half haha

[@AmusedAnimator]

​@@Calebtrain is it possible to commission you for say a Thomas with the color like magic railroad

[@TheTrainModeller]

Percy looks absolutely fantastic -- really love the shots at the end. Can't wait to see him in future episodes!

[@Calebtrain]

Thanks man, he wouldn’t have come together without your prints and vinyls!

[@trainstorm1225]

Percy’s always a tough one to model but you guys absolutely NAILED it!! Great engineering from Green as well! Looking forward to the next one, man! 💚✨

[@Calebtrain]

He's an absolute wizard! Thank you :)

[@Enterprisingengine93]

These videos are so well made. Also Percy is very well made. You should get a commendation for making things well. I shall write to your superintendent at once.

[@Calebtrain]

He's too busy with the commendations I'm submitting for your wonderful productions

[@thomasthetankman111]

He looks great Caleb. Great video and loved that coal yard set. This is what I am currently dealing with and seeing yours done makes me what to get working on mine!

[@Calebtrain]

Thanks James, I'm sure yours will be super!

[@najibosman6497]

From the footage you’ve shown here, I can tell a lot of hard work and dedication was put into making your ho Percy model it takes a lot of love to make something of this calibre, major props to you man

[@Calebtrain]

It's a labor of love for sure, thank you so much :)

[@TheBlueE2]

7:33 *Percy leaves satisfied in the outcome of his victim, leaving nothing but a single wheel behind...* Bwhaha I'm sorry, defo wasn't the intention but taking that frame out of context gave myself a laugh 😅 Great stuff as usual, very much interested to see who else got a preen up behind the scenes 👀

[@Calebtrain]

Hahahaha he defeated him once and for all! Thanks so much man, there's absolutely more to come...

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

Your Percy model is fantastic looking quite accurate to either season 5 or Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

[@Calebtrain]

I definitely am partial to that time :)

[@amitysluzara2022]

[@railfan475productions3]

I recommend using tail light tape for the pinstriping. I use it on my Lionel Thomas customs and it works great

[@fruitsnaxVA]

"But I don’t have the best *track* record when it comes to customisation." Don’t think I wouldn’t notice that Caleb.

I’m glad you caught my train of thought there

[@LordPhobos6502]

7:15 Percy in the morning looks like me in the morning... "Don't even bother making the coffee, just pour the grinds in and see if that works..." 7:25 "Now I', awake, but I'm *not* happy about it!"

[@BigLightning4360]

Not bad. By the way, when you were talking about a potential movie with those models, maybe I hope it would capture the vibrant aesthetic of "Thomas and the Magic Railroad".

[@Calebtrain]

I definitely wanted to tap into that quality of production.

[@ExpressRhubarb]

sweet mother of Awdry he's come out incredible!!! well done mate he's fantastic :D I don't really do HO/OO anymore but you're seriously tempting me!!!!

[@Calebtrain]

You absolutely should get back to it! But anything in your craft is always excellent :D

Loving this series so far! Percy looks wonderful- can’t which to see which engine is next

[@Calebtrain]

Many thanks! James may be pulling in soon :)

[@S.C.RuffeyGuy]

Very good work man! Your work really paid off on Percy. And yeah, I also like the green on Percy in season 5 as well!

[@Calebtrain]

S5 is so aesthetic!

[@MikeD57s]

Percy looks wonderful. I admit that yeah, he’s always been a strange one, especially since the old tooling for him Thomas & James is really dated at this point, having all these flaws. Not only that, I wish in real life that an engine like Percy existed, as 0-4-0’s are very obscure ones, especially since they didn’t have bunkers or could go at long distances or handle yard shunting in real life. In fact, only recently in my series, I actually crafted a backstory for him. But your model so far looks great when trying to patch up those flaws. I can’t wait to see more.

[@Calebtrain]

Yeah, I definitely think he's one of the weaker ones along with Thomas and James. Thank you so much, there is more on the way!

[@MikeD57s]

@@Calebtrain My pleasure. Not only that, I can see the Magic Railroad aesthetic in these prop replicas of yours to.

Hey man I had a few questions about the modeling 1.how do u get those accurate faces they look SOO cool 2. What scale is this? 3. Do u think these would be good Forbes beginner modelers who have no idea how to model? Or would suggest trying other easier models before these Thomas models?

[@Calebtrain]

1. They are 3D printed! They are made by @the_chairlord on twitter! 2. HO/OO 3. I don't know if I'd say these are beginner projects, I definitely had a challenging time myself and while I'm no pro, I'm not exactly a novice. I would say start small and go from there. :)
