Well here's my first custom Bumblebee Thomas, sorry it's low quality. Feel free to leave suggestions.

Hi Railway_Fan,

I don't think I've seen you around before, so I'll just say "Welcome" Smile

I'm not really sure about the origin of the bumblebee Thomas the Tank Engine, but I must say the colours are nice. Smile Most important is the yellow. Some people choose yellows that are too bright and it just doesn't look right. Yours however, is just right.

Might I suggest using some masking tape to cover the parts you don't want the yellow/black to go. That way, it'll end up being a straight line and not wobbly like what you have there. Masking tape over the "1" of Thomas also helps.

Are you using your phone to take the photo? Do you have a separate camera? Like one of those normal digital cameras? If you do, they are much better at taking photos than phones. Phones have tiny image sensors and photos are just too noisy.

Have a nice day. Smile

Thanks for the suggestion I will try to repaint it later this month as I am very busy. Smile
A Busy Bee Thomas! Nice job. Considering this is your first custom, it's surprisingly well done.
Well done Railway_Fan!
Great idea Railway_fan and nice work [Image: big-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon.gif]
