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. ❤️‍🔥

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!”

Excellent work! I liked the parts where you were witty and explained things well. So the whole thing. Anyways, for your next project, could you build a life size replica of the Great pyramid of Giza?

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!

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 😘

[@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.

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😅

[@BrendenReis10]

YOU MADE IT 💙 OH GOD I wanna add that do badly 🤣 One of us.. one of US.

[@natevalleystudios1086]

5:33 Technically he is still season 3 accurate. 3 + 3 = 6.

[@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.

[@_casey_idk_]

I love all your models, they look so goood!

[@HELLOEARTH1MILLION]

10:34 I seriously thought this was the real model 🤣.

[@Joeythetrainguy]

The main thing that makes him so beautiful is the super clean face without 3D-printing marks and the PERFECT color!

[@TheMagicRailroadStudios2000]

First Thomas Now Gordon Once Again Model Looks Amazing And Looks Great Next To Thomas!

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Here’s the thing … I have n scale model trains and I love Gordon … so when Bachman makes Gordon he will be mine and when he is I will perhaps modify him a tiny bit to match the cgi show . Tho with express headlamps at the front . Tho I have an advantage over you . 😂😂😂 no thicc siderods and accurate face and measurements Time to pre order and waist my life saving … tho before him . Toby and James come first and then Gordon after

[@AJedits65]

Thomas fans making their models be like kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6nahp-hrqt6pKs Me if I ever try it: uh I’m just gonna take tv series face and put it on a bachmann

I love the model. But I prefer a black running board instead of the white paint job. It looks more realistic and looks stunning. But this model here looks beautiful.

I must ask did u create the faces yourself? Did you get them from Shapeways or somewhere? I’m always on the hunt for more engine faces, Gordon especially.

Well, the face seen on him for a majority of the video is just the tomy face I've had for years. The rest seen at the end are made by Rexexeutions, and can be bought through his shapeways store!

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.

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!

[@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.
