How I Made Percy the Small Engine - HO/OO

[@Calebtrain]

Watching you persist with this model has been so inspiring, and I'm ecstatic to see him completed and running around your lovely sets. also THE POWER OF MATH made me laugh

[@thomasthetankman111]

Thank you Caleb!

[@TankEngine97]

Percy looks amazing. Honestly, if there was any Bachmann model that needs a major upgrade then it is definitely Percy.

This model is incredible. Simply, incredible. Like wow. Short, but simple. Great job!

The Percy in-progress pic without the toolboxes looks a little cursed, but the finished product overall looks fantastic. Makes me want to delve into custom making on this scale too

Such a fun little model! Percy’s certainly a tough one to nail but you got him spot on! Great work here, man! 💚🌟

Thank you Dude!

Great work on Percy. He looks lovely! It's one of those models you think it's easy, but it's really not, lol.

Wellllllll News from a year … I swapped scales from OO to N … moving house occured after this comment Soo bachmans n scale Percy works completely fine and it actually looks accurate . So no 3d print ever needed Tho csnt say the same for my truck army plan 😂 . And the fun of now having a RESIN printer is a joy . I am planning on making a N scale truck file … but first will get some files from thingiverse . They have a amazing little N scale crane on there that I guess can be my breakdown crane 😂 . I mean I wouldn’t mind making some rollingstock for specifically N scale and my needs . Tho I can’t choose if I want to resin print most of it or if I want to buy existing models and re paint them sodor colours . I mean a model of mail cars from the tv series do exist and they are peco models I think . Them or Dapol … Anyways . That’s been what’s happened after a year … Yeah crazy stuffs can chainge in a year 😂 Bye😊

[@TheSodorCaterpillar]

This was absolutely wonderful! I love Percy and this is literally stunning! Great job and I can’t wait to see more!

[@thomasthetankman111]

Thank you! More are on the way!

[@exarkun42]

That looks brilliant. Getting a custom to look just the way you want is walways very satisfying. I just finished my custom scottish twins, so I know the feeling

[@thomasthetankman111]

Thank you for watching!

He looks fantastic!

[@calebc.2290]

If there is one quote to sum the bachman percy it would be “Your ugly fizz is enough to frighten everyone!” an outstanding model, keep up the great work.

[@thomasthetankman111]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!

amazing percy

[@thomasthetankman111]

Thank you!

[@Jude-72]

he's a lovely little Percy, but he seems to have the separate footplate curse in leaving a gap between the body and footplate.

[@thomasthetankman111]

He does this is due to print warpping. Maybe I will try sort this!

[@SyrusCantina]

I don’t know how I’ve ended up down a Thomas the tank engine rabbit hole. But here I am I guess? And I’m not exactly offended by it. Great video!

[@thomasthetankman111]

Well I hope you have enjoyed this rabbit hole! Thanks for watching!

That’s an amazing Percy model you have! So, what kind of sand paper did you to get those print lines out and to smooth out the surface?

[@Thomasremakes55]

4:33 quick question what are the Buffers made out of?

[@thomasthetankman111]

They are just 3D Printed files! Made out of Resin.

@@Thomasremakes55 It's just tamiya light grey spray. It's the primer you put down before I sprayed him green! Always put primer on your models before you colour them to help ma]ke the colour better. But the running board just uses that primer spray!

Does anyone else wonder why Percy’s pistons are sometimes slightly tilted down and sometimes even with the running board? It’s kinda weird to me.

[@could_possiblybe_thane07echo]

His face looks like hes an adult now lol No offense*

[@thomasthetankman111]

Thanks for watching!

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Bachmann's Percy definitely suffers the worst from the combo of an inexperienced team that obviously wasn't allowed to use the _good_ machines + said team being forced to work from Gullane stock art instead of pictures of the actual props + the stupid placement of the accursed circuit boards. If you want to know why Thomas, Percy, and James all kinda suck (and why the faces on older models are all kinda weird)? That's why, and Percy suffers the worst from it.

[@AnimeWolf93]

Man, if theirs a website where you can buy already fully made models of Thomas and Friends, I want to buy them. Especially Percy, he's my favourite engine ❤
