Powerful Gordon Mikes Amazing Tutorial

[Super]

Our own member, Powerful Gordon Mike, Has made a 10 Part YouTube Tutorial of how he created his fantastic Powerful Gordon Tribute Trains. His creation duplicates the hard to find and rare Plarail Powerful Gordon down to almost every detail and look factory made. Big shout out to Ucwepn in Part 1. His work is truly amazing and maybe one day in the future will also be highly collectable.

Tribute Powerful Gordon Build First Run

Yes. He truly does do an incredible job at replicating Powerful Gordon!!
We’re hoping that they become highly collectible as well...
He gives them a production number on the inside of the shell, and we were lucky enough to get our “PGM Tribute” when he first began, and have #2!!

Gordon is one my favourite characters.  It would be nice if the youtuber has a side by side race between the modified Plarail Gordon and Angry Gordon.

Wow, #2, thats great. I wonder how many he has made and sold up to now? Yours is at least 5 years old right as I think you had yours before Mike sent one to Ucwepn to review.

I miss Ucwepn videos.




@Leyland
Looking back at some of his earlier videos he has shown is original Powerful Gordon running at it doesn't look as fast as his Tributes with the Power Dash Motor.

I love the tutorial videos he gave! Just one question, in part 8 when he is taking off the Gordon face, since there's glue around that area wouldn't the face be removable by applying heat to the area? Or are the plastic studs that lock it in melted to stay in place? Cheers!

I don't believe the studs are melted in place. I assume you are wanting to salvage the face without damaging the studs. Your idea might be worth a try, warm the whole back stud area while at the same time pushing one of the studs in hopes that it pops loose.

I have only used Mikes method.
