Percy you're alive!!!

He's...ALIVE!!!! I can't wait to see the rest of his body in Part 2 of the body construction along with his eye mechanism. He'll turn out beautifully in the end.

Well done looks great can’t wait to see what the eye mechanism looks like.

Great to see you back at it again! Great model!

@@amentheaiengine5166 I recommend using Perspex as I hear it's more rigid and less likely to warp than styrene :)

One thing on your older thomas model is the faceplate would wobble and I think it was because of the animatronic system rubbing on the clay so your new plastic faces won't cause as much friction but a good Idea would be to create something to hold the face on
