Making the Island of Sodor

[@SodorTrain1225]

"Some" of us like Misty Island. I've always found logging camps fascinating!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

They certainly are, it's just what Misty Island in particular symbolises.

[@popgoesadryn]

Can we appreciate how he filmed the whole process and never left any minor detail

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you! It's nice to see how a model comes together from start to finish, it just takes a lot of filming!

[@MrKenichi22]

agreed.

[@Nemo_Anom]

I'm a bit of a stickler for map details, especially scale, especially the scale of mountains. This made has a pretty good scale for the mountains and the rest of the island. Assuming the mountains aren't over 2 km at their highest, everything on the map, besides roads and railways, is accurate. From that vantage point, roads and railways would be too small to see. But you did a really good job, and I like it! Cheers!

[@spiderman_enthusiast1578]

Terrier55Stepney: Leave our Misty Island, it is forbidden. I think we all saw that coming...

[@toby070]

Perhaps... If someone makes better use of the Misty Island concept, and puts a better spin on it's characters, then perhaps they have the right to put Misty Island on their Sodor map.

[@josedomingogonzalezquinter5386]

Why Misty Island is Forbidden?, I like it, besides, Mattel includes it no matter how bad you thing it is. And what should be improve in Misty island?

[@no.83]

I'll leave it on the logging locos are narrow gauge old and likes exciment and does work like a charm not wise but kind aways welcomeing even if your rude.

[@gbhtrain1325]

This looks bloody fantastic. You really do belong up there with professional modellers. I’m currently making a sodor map on photoshop so that I can create timeline versions of Sonora railway throughout the years

[@Terrier55Stepney]

That's so kind of you to say, thank you so much! That sounds like a fascinating project. I'd love to see it when it's done!

[@gbhtrain1325]

@@Terrier55Stepney So far I've made the island and it's surrounding ocean and lands. Right now i'm making a documented timeline of when the towns, roads, and railways were made.

[@toby070]

This should be interesting. But I think it will require tons and tons of dirt.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

If it's good enough for Dubai it's good enough for Sodor.

[@LucasPlayzOtherStuff]

It’ll also require a lot of money, seeing as you’ll have to buy the water for the rivers and supplies. You’ll also need money for food and buildings and other essentials. You know what, just get Bill Gates to handle the money bit.

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

What if we built a one gauge scale model of Sodor, right off the coast of Barrow-In-Furness?

[@MiCAHmp4]

Geezus... This does bring me back. A very well done painting/sculpture/replica/whateveryouwanttocallit. Although I suggest when painting make sure to stroke your brush in the one direction unless you're outlining the model (preferably right to left) as I can still see the multiple brush strokes going multiple directions which ends up looking a bit messy. Besides that this is does look fantastic. Keep up the good work.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you! I'll take note of that, I'm not very professional when it comes to painting! Specifically, where do you mean? On the greenery, or the sea? Thanks for the advice. I appreciate when criticism is constructive like this and not just rude.

[@MiCAHmp4]

@@Terrier55Stepney I appreciate the compliment!! And I also meant the sea especially since it takes up the majority of the canvas which makes it more noticeable but in some cases it can also work on smaller details depending on what the project is. And I'm also willing to give constructive criticism especially to people who have a whole lot of potential like you for example (please don't let it get to your head lol) it's such a shame though that people like to do just talk smack and not be more mature. Nevertheless I hope you found what I said helpful for future projects that you may do.

[@jaysworkshop1567]

hey got something to ask...can you stop being so good at model making!! like DAAAAAMMMMMMMM that 3D island is just beyond, beyond glue. there is a line on how good it should be and you went like 20 miles past it! basically im saying its amazing and keep up the good work, your models always inspire me to get myself better!

Do you ever have trouble with the clay cracking? I've used that type of clay before and everytime I tried to stick them together it just seems to crack. But I don't know if it was dried or not

[@Terrier55Stepney]

If it's new out of the pack, mix it thoroughly with a small amount of PVA glue instead of water and it should stick. Priming over it afterwards also prevents it from cracking.
