Instructions: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-148982/LarrysLego/thomas/#details FAQ: Why didn't I use a 1x2 black piece instead? - It sounds good in theory, but the result is that Thomas's "neck" looks SUPER wide if I do that. Why don't you use [x piece] for the dome? - That piece probably doesn't exist in dark azure. I looked for a lot of alternatives.
Just from the thumbnail of this video alone. Already I'm loving this Thomas model. I'll have to try building one of my own. It'll go great with the Lego Train Scale version I currently have.
Thanks mate! I don't mean to "compete" with Thomas the LEGO Engine by any means - I like to think we work in different scales, with their models much smaller than mine, despite the same 4-wide width. I love their models and they have inspired parts of mine 😄
I'm in love with this man! The stickers and bright blue color used makes this such a fun model to look at! 1 suggestion though, under the pizza tiles, perhaps replace the blue with black 1×2s so it's hidden a bit better! Other than that, love the stickers and tiny details put into this, great job!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so :D As I said for another comment, I tried that, it made his "neck" (for lack of a technical term) look SUPER wide.
You did a fantastic job on Thomas! I love the new face and I like how you dud the stripes! I did want to mention though, the normal Lego blue would’ve actually been accurate since it’s very similar to the shade of blue used in Season 5 but the blue you chose is just as good! Great job!
I should have noted that Thomas's shade of blue did in fact change - but still, this is certainly the shade most associate with him. Thank you so much!
It's looks great. But you could flip the dome over with a Technic half pin with a stud on the end. It would spin more easily. Just throwing that out there, it is your model as long as you are happy with it.
One small suggestion, just to have as many brick built details as possible, maybe replace the front window stickers with 1x1 yellow round studs with holes? Absolutely great model though, the detail at such a small scale is amazing!
Will you do stories and remakes with these Thomas and your other lego engines? After seeing the running session, I’d like to see you make your own stories and remakes
This and youre other Thomad and Non-Thomas models are amazing! I do wonder if you plan on doing and of the tender engines (James, Henry, etc) and maybe use some sort of rope or chain to keep the tenders from being apart of the engine itself
I've made three completed small 4 stud wide LEGO trains ( witch are my original characters) . but this channal relly push me to make more. you make awsome stuff man .
I've been binging quite a few of your vids and I'm always impressed at the great quality of builds and edits! Have you ever considered submitting any of your models to Lego ideas? I think they would be super popular and pretty realistic to become a set
I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying them :D Thanks! I have - this sort of thing has been attempted before, Lego aren't great with Ideas when it comes to trains, plus, I don't think Mattel (current owner of Thomas franchise) would make it so easy
when a video is published on this channel im happy bc your videos are very cool thomas looks very good!!! btw how about that brick game i talked about🤔
Got an idea for Thomas’s dome: you could use part 4274 (in any color cause it won’t show) to put the piece you’re currently using on the other direction. While it won’t make the hole go away, it’ll make it smaller so it looks less like a funnel. Also have you ever considered lightsaber handles for engines with skinnier funnels?
@@LarrysLego Nice! I think I may have asked you before 😅. I just hope you'll keep the TVs design for your customs. I don't like RWS Toby for his blue side plates. Anyways, I can't wait to see other engines in your Lego style! Like Percy, Salty and maybe a tender engine or two!
Hey Larry, it’s me again. I commented on your video about Edward and I was about to order the Thomas instructions and I realised that you added stickers and I came to ask how you made/got them?
I print onto adhesive paper, but if you really want, you can just use normal paper and stick the face on. The instructions should come with an image file of the face that you can print. The lining is done with adhesive vinyl but you can buy red pinstriping for modelling. Hope this helps!
@@LarrysLego it does tysm 😊👍 could you also try and make Percy for me because I would love to see him in your collection (also because I need a lego Percy so badly 😂)
1:58 you could use one of those rounded 1*2 black pieces instead i think... it would make the wheel arch look a bit thinner but maybe it's a good compromise?
But the first Thomas you made was awful I'm so happy you improved it because the blue you used dark azure looks much more accurate and accurate to Thomas's season 8 to season 10 live action model with the moving eye mechanism and the rest.
