FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs

I covered the Nameplates with Scotch delicate painter's tape laG.

As for the face, yes that is a tribute to how they labeled the faces, this is a temporary face however when face "2" is added it'll be marked 2. As for an image, I believe this is what you might be looking for.

Thank you so much. If only I realised Scotch was an active brand that made various forms of tape, not strictly a term for hook and loop fasteners. In that case, I hope at least one of my existing tapes might make a good substitute (unless I could weaken one of them somehow, though I'd rather look for the right type in the first place).

I've just found a much clearer example of a real cast from the back (thanks to TomsProps):

(Perhaps we should have a whole thread for behind the scenes of T&F, or revive the Trivia and Fun Facts game someday).

Been a while on this thread hasn't it?

Ben:

FINALLY GOT FP BEN SO NOW BILL AND BEN ARE PRETTY MUCH DONE

Before:


After:

[Super]

Nice Ffar

2/21/21 Update

Bill & Ben:
Both have handrails airbrushed silver and Ben's face has been painted up to match Bill.


Arthur:
Footplate painted up fully, bufferbeams painted red, wheels swapped for functionality repairs, full axle fitted replacing the half axles, and complete chassis painted Black.



Dodge:
Face was repainted! again...



Spencer:
Wheels painted black and the face was repainted, at the cost of the tender's front coupler being broken, now it needs to be hot-glued together.



Not Pictured:

"Scottish John" had his wheels painted up and all the cuts have been done. Just needs a bit of putty work before priming.

Nice work Ffar. Have we seen 'Scottish John' before?

Scottish John is what Wilbert is called in Leokimvideo's Mad Bomber. If that's who you're making, I'm not too surprised after you bought a replacement Ben (nearly everyone makes Wilbert/Sixteen with Bill/Ben's tank).

He was started around a week before the new Fisher-Price Ben arrived in the mail with Arthur. "Scottish John" was made out of a Hit Toys Ben and a Hit Toys Percy, same case will be applied to Wilson when I obtain another TOMY Ben and Hit Percy. The Percy faces will probably go to something else while the two Ben Chassis will be used on TVS Bill & Ben so they can have full axles fitted rather than the yucky half axles Mattel fitted to almost everyone.

[Super]

I hope we can see the finished Scottish John then

Did a recap video of pretty much everything that's happened between the last 22 days.
