V2 of the custom Henry already looks much more promising (and was more fun to build). He now uses skewers in addition to cardboard and was made with the chassis in mind instead of following Gordon. Furthermore, the tender has also been built and his wheel stickers have been prepared. All that's left of the first version (discarded) is the front of the running board, hence why it's cardboard and already painted. After this photo, the tender was finished and the handrails were added. He's still a bit too wide and not perfectly straight, but it's better than nothing. Now he'll just have to be primed, painted and detailed and he'll be complete. Best of all, he can be turned back into Spencer in just about five steps if needed (or vice versa), making him totally reversible. If the end result will be good enough, I could try Duck and Oliver and use the same green for them.
What did you do to your trains today?
