Very talented! I’m not into modeling or making replicas, I’m not really a crafty person myself, but I always enjoy seeing other people’s creations and what they’re able to do, and this Duke model is very impressive, keep up the good work and best of luck with your future projects!
@Too Much Toby Well I don't know I said almost everyone says it it's like only a few people say it although one of my main sources is everyone who makes a how I made my gauge 1 Thomas video
Thank you! Duke is not my first replica though, I made Peter Sam and Sir Handel before him. But Duke was engine I fully designed. You have very splendid models and hope to see your future models!
So, about the lining. Instead of trying to mask and paint it (which is more "pro" if it turns out right, but is stupidly vulnerable to tape bleeds and peeling (he said from experience)), it might work better to lay masking tape out on some wax paper, paint the _tape_ the desired color, and then cut the tape into thinner strips as needed. That would actually end up looking more like the show, too, since they did the lining with chart tape rather than masking and painting it.
Well my printer is the Creality Ender 5 which I got it for around $200 but you can find cheaper printers that are good quality. The spool filament was around 5-10 dollars. I do recommend making something like this because there are files on these replicas out there but I didn’t know that and made my own files. The downside to making replicas is you will have to do a lot of sanding to get your models smooth. Overall I recommend getting into making replicas and the more models you make the more experienced you are at making them. Hope this helps!
@@coachesteaches the laptop was tested, the charge port is picking up power but it’s not transmitting it to the battery or somethin, so it will be a while
