Hi there!
I’m Noah, and I’ve been a Thomas fan for as long as I can remember. I mostly work with the Tomy/Trackmaster range, but I collect a little of everything. I’ve been slowly getting into modeling, and have many projects in the works! Thanks for reading!
@NWTom25 As much as season 7 has been growing on me lately, I have to agree there. I literally did a whole re-edit of Emily’s New Coaches cuz I love doing sound design and the og was so lacking.
@LOTTracks@mrslowking642 If they do that, I think they’d just sell them alongside the original range. If the only change is a face swap and livery tweak, they can pass them off as just new variants of existing characters. The new show reuses the CGI models anyway.
@plarailfan It’s absolutely serviceable for the most part, definitely had better quality control than what we’ve been seeing as of late, but it definitely kickstarted the whole “train sets that act more like hot wheels” trend.
@plarailfan People freaking out like “OMG THE TENDER ENGINES ARE ACTUALLY BIGGER NOW” is actually really telling of how much Mattel has screwed up the toys. It shouldn’t HAVE be that exciting or exclusive. It’s the bare minimum.
@plarailfan Mattel single handedly screwed up the three most prominent toy ranges in less than ten years and are giving us the bare minimum to make up for it.
We’ve lost wooden railway for good now. What the fuck.
I’m not gonna lie. If you enjoy this new show, I am genuinely jealous. But, the faces, everyone still being voiced and treated as kids, and the way they move. This show seems to be trying to put a band aid on the gaping infected wound that was AEG. I’m already checked out again.
@maithwaite_man If you mean what SET im recreating, it’s loosely based on the waterfall bridge from season 3. The bridge was modeled by @Junctionmalfunk and I detailed it up with clay, and the hills in front were made from cardboard, wooden blocks, newspaper, and plaster wrap.
@Phunny_Mann Thomas has lots of female characters, they’re just sorely underused
Rosie, Molly, Flora, hell, even rolling stock charcters like Old Slow Coach just never caught on and it sucks. Glad we’ve got tons of fan stories cooked up with them.
