How I made LEGO mini Edward (Thomas & Friends) - Larry's Lego

[@LarrysLego]

Instructions: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-155970/LarrysLego/edward/#details I forgot to mention that the last section was filmed before the final modifications were made! Also at 5:25 that's actually 10,000% speed not 10,000x, oops

[@Shadowwolf-jg3ee]

why doesn't lego contact you to turn these into actual sets, these are so freaking good Keep up the good work, because these are amazing😊

[@Track_Side]

Wait does the instructions come with the pieces? Like with stickers an all and do the trucks come with couplers now

[@Patrick_Roderick.]

Make Lego Donald and Douglas

[@judithrobertson5441]

[@LarrysLego]

@@Track_Side They have a list of pieces attached which you can import into bricklink. And the trucks don't have couplers but you can just buy Lego chains!

[@fluffyrock2345]

I love how you manage to create such accurate models without using illegal building techniques, even up until now. Seriously, your hand drawn faces combined with all your amazing handwork can easily rival ertl’s work in the mid 90’s. Great work, as always.

[@LarrysLego]

Thank you so much! That means a lot :)

[@paulbowman5864]

That looks amazing. You did a good job on making Edward in your own image. I do hope you can build Henry, Gordan, Nia, Ashima, Emily, Bertie the bus and Bulgy the double decker bus (with his vegetable bus version). And you can build them in your own time and I will be happy to watch your awesome videos of the Thoams & Friends in mini lego form.

[@LarrysLego]

Thank you so much! :)

[@theamazingadventureofeduardo]

YOOOOO! THIS IS SO EPIC! Every process, every struggle, every detail, Every improvement is just SO GREAT!! And even a clip from close shave just tops the Cherry off!! Well done!

[@KnapfordMaster98]

The problem solving and process in these videos is so fun. Killer editing and timing to boot.

[@LarrysLego]

I'm delighted to hear that! Thanks, means a lot :D

[@cherylcrane84]

​@@LarrysLego can you please make james the red tender engine

[@chaoticgoose4887]

This has got to be one of your greatest customs yet! I think that for couplings you could also use handcuff pieces attached to the grey pieces that represent couplings. I'm not sure if it would flex enough but it might be worth a shot!

[@LarrysLego]

I definitely would have tried handcuffs had I thought of it, but the chains are far more flexible! Thanks for the shout though

[@joshuaW5621]

I’m amazed at how Edward looks so accurate in this LEGO scale.

[@trainboy7]

Glad to see you’ve managed to work out a coupling system for your engines and rolling stock. The Edward model looks great too! Curious to see what you’ll do for coaches and a brake van.

[@LarrysLego]

Thanks you! We'll have to find out

[@oscarguerrero178]

That technique with the studs with holes for the small wheels is genius!

[@LarrysLego]

Thank you!

[@esmondmerry]

Larry I'll have to say Edward looks fantastic and the part of the end where you filmed a shot from one of the episodes with your Lego Thomas engines that was so good. And plus when you build Gordon in future I want to say using the big wheels is a great idea. It matches the size of Gordon's Wheels they're gigantic.

[@LarrysLego]

Thanks a lot! Glad you thought so

[@ItsTrainBoy]

AWE YEAH THIS IS HYPE RIGHT HERE- TENDER ENGINE TIME ❤️‍🔥👀 I can’t wait for the day we see that vain red lad, he and the twins may help keep Eddie about his wits haha

[@TheSpookyDong]

This definitely the best so far! This definitely answered my question back when Toby was made and then some! Now the main question i have is, will James be next as he is basically Edward but with a few small modifications to the body, wheel chassic and colour Either way, im excited for who will be made next! Keep up the amazing work!! :DD

[@LarrysLego]

Thank you so much!! I will be making James at some point but not next :) You shall have to wait and see. Thanks :D

[@horsewoodtrains16]

Edward looks so great!

[@LarrysLego]

Thank you!

[@SkarloeyBrickBuildz]

Why didn’t you made the front boogie rotate able?

[@LarrysLego]

I was going to mention but cut it; having to place the brackets to hold the clips for the small wheels meant it wasn't really possible to have them all attached to a rotating piece, unless I made them even lower. I figured Edward is short enough for this not to be a big issue.

[@SkarloeyBrickBuildz]

I understand

[@CrazyThomasFan]

The Disesil remake with these would be amazing!

[@jlstudios69]

Heyy I remember when you asked me about those wheels 😅 thanks for bringing me up, you didn't have to do that! The model overall looks so good, and a longer video feels a lot more in depth and engaging. Amazing job!

[@LarrysLego]

No worries! You were part of the story so why not 😄 Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! This was a lot of effort but I think this is my proudest video yet, so I'm gonna try keeping these long!

[@sonictailsx4690]

I will love to see more characters and can't wait to see who you will make next. It will be cool to see more rolling stocks like brake-vans, coaches, a few more trucks etc.

[@__UTF__]

Hey, I’m not sure if this would work but to get the black 1x2 slope on the running board to a 1x1, maybe you could use 2 1x1 brackets on either end to hold the buffer? that way you could put a jumper in the centre and have the slope be flush with the boiler?

[@Bazooka.trooper]

WOW MAN! AWESOME, you inspired me to make my own trains in this scale, I already made Rheneas and I'm working on the other narrow gauge engines. Can't wait to see more from you!

[@LarrysLego]

Nice Model! I just don't like the edge of the cab that much. Seeing how you mentioned Gordon .... I think you know where I'm going with this. Make Gordon!😈 But after Percy and Salty. So I say GET DESIGNING AND BUILD! When you decide, of course🤗. Also, how didn't you think of chains? Thanks for having my comment in the video😊. Also when are you going to give the engines different face expressions?🧐

[@LarrysLego]

As I said, I just didn't think there were chains that small and convenient! No worries! And whenever I get around to drawing more and printing them :)

[@Double_cloud_studios]

If you build James, you can reuse the exact same design of Edward and modify it to be a Mogul and I had his fire box and his three wheel wells on each side instead of two make him red design, James’s face and your done all thats needed now is some pin striping and also make the dome gold

[@karenfan010]

I guess the big engines were right about edward having black wheel’s

[@JudiththeSteampunker]

If you were to ever remake your Edward model i would recommend using part 55423 or part 57999, as those could be good replacements for the wheels you used in the first draft

BoCo: I remember the first time I met those two. They nearly made my eyes pop out. Edward soon put a stop to their games. Duck: Edward is the only one who can keep Bill and Ben in order. I sometimes call them "the bees". BoCo: A good name. They're terrors when they start buzzing around. Just then, James bustled in. James: What's that, Duck? Are you afraid of bees? They're only insects after all, so don't let that Buzz-box diesel tell you different. Duck: His name is BoCo, and he didn't. We... James: I wouldn't care if hundreds were swarming around. I'd just blow smoke and make them buzz off! Duck: Buzz, buzz, buzz.
