Hello! I have been a TTTE fan since I was 5 or 6. Recently, the YT algorithm found out I like Thomas, and has recommended me mother else since. I found The Unlucky Tug, Train Boy, and now you. As someone who has decided to make a train table in my man cave, this is an amazing introduction to making my own trains. Thank you so much!

This was so heartwarming and hilarious to watch 😂. I honestly did NOT expect to get name dropped during this. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. You're such an important figure to have in this community, helping bridge the gap in knowledge that some may not have. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you.

The fact the Train Boy was the voice a Thomas it was funny and it got me to smile

Jon all I can say is, well done. You literally took the humor and seriousness out of this video, which made my day. I love when people explain how they model this, or that. It's just so fascinating, again well done.

I put my Thomas in a microwave.

Damn, this looks great. I'd love to see James like this too. Also Seasons 7-12 were my childhood. The music is what brought me back into the fandom, and also the amazing unique style of the models. Glad to see that TTTE brings you joy, as it does with me too.

That truly is an outstanding model man, serious well done to you! I hope it gives you many happy hours of running and a big grin on your face! And thanks so much for the mention at the end! Truly heart-warming to see my name somewhere else on KZread! And if you ever need any help or someone to throw ideas at, I'm more than happy to throw my hat in the ring. Just send me a message! Great job, and great video showing off all the effort that goes into these models, keep it up! ...I should really get on with my own model now, shouldn't I?

Superb job, man! Very well edited and explained and it’s a great video for those who want to get into Thomas modeling! I can’t wait to see what you have for us next and I’m so glad I could help make this little blue dude! 💙✨

Awesome video! I love seeing how people create such awesome models. He looks exactly how he did in the hit era! Great work and thanks for making this video!

Lord, this is legit amazing. Everyday I see so much inspiring stuff from this fandom and I'm so thankful for it. Hope to see the model inspire others dude

That intro was beautifully made along with the Thomas model, it could help me in making my own model maybe. You did so well man! 👍🏼😃

Out of the all of the Gauge 1 Replicas I've seen on twitter, yours is probably my favorite because it accurately resembles the era of Thomas I grew up with, The HIT Era. Here's to hoping you make more engines, Jon!

Wow Jon, that model is hands down the best fanmade model made by one human being. Incredible job man.

The editing and the pace was perfect! The way each section of the script was written and transitioned into one another really kept my attention the whole time. I have a similar story relating to how I got back into Thomas the Tank Engine, and I've actually wanted to make a prop accurate replica for some time as well. It's like this video was made for me 😄 I'm Glad I found your channel man.

This is the most Accurate and best Gauge 1 Replica of Thomas, the best I have ever seen, really I mean it, congratulations man, awesome work, I do want to make one of my own, you just earned another subscriber

Wow. Looks amazing! Such a journey! That fact this is a TUTORIAL a is amazing! Great job!

The segment talking about how people make mistakes, even with model trains was very well said. As an artist, I can relate to every word that you talked about.

love seeing Gauge 1 Replicas of Thomas the Tank Engine characters! You're Thomas looks like he was pulled straight out of the model series. Well done Tank Engine JonJon. Love seeing a process of making a model. I don't have the exact word for it, but there is just this feeling I get when I see the process through until it's completed.

The intro pretty much summed up my feelings about the hit era very very well

YES!! A TUTORIAL! I love this video and the way you do things. I started a Thomas gauge 1 project several years ago without finishing it, and now, I'm determined to finish it! Thank you!

I've watched this video so many times, but I'm always amazed every time. Your model of Thomas is absolutely amazing, and proves that you don't really need to spend thousands on legt Marklin parts....thank you for inspiring me and many others to try modelmaking!!

Fantastic video! I’ve always admired your work and was a pleasure to how you do it!

Jon this is amazing. You inspired me for loads of things including this model. Thank you so much. You rock and so does the model. Well done! - Urthie

This is truly amazing works of art knowing you take commissions is mind blowing

This is so nice to see the full process on video, your Thomas model is amazing btw!

Holy Moly your Thomas is fantastic. Awesome job dude!!!

You did a fantastic job with your Thomas model and somehow made making a model this funny Can’t wait to see more of what you do

This is such a great video. My son absolutely loved seeing Thomas brought to life. He has autism and Thomas makes him feel the way you recall feeling including safe. I appreciate you bleeping words your younger audience should not hear. Thank you.

Love it ,like it, cherish it this better be part of the thomas fandom because this has to be the greatest models you've built

GREAT JOB! The model look amazing and it’s cool to see someone enjoy the hit era!

This looks great! I've done pretty much the same thing in Gauge one and I'm pretty much at your first step. Good effort keeping up your progress and not giving up!

Watching this brings back memories, fantastic work Jon!

This is so cool! Not just the evolution of your Thomases, but the incredible process of making your main gauge 1 Thomas. Bravo👏👏👏 P.S Youv’e got a new subscriber 😉

That's awesome! Now i have a better understanding of Thomas model making, and will have easier time making 1st model.

Great video Jon loved watching your process on this boy

as a die hard Thomas fan i was worried about modeling Thomas because if i do it i want it to be as perfect as possible. and Jon this has given me inspiration to give it a shot. Thank you so much for showing us this masterpeice!!!!!

Hey listen. If you get your Thomas to be perfect on the first go, good on you. But the reality is, you won’t. And that’s okay to tweak and modify after you thought you’ve finished. Just look at my model. This is the 6th Thomas I’ve made and now that I confidently know what I’m doing, I’m glad to lead others on the right path. Do your best on your first model then step back and see how you can improve until you’re satisfied

I loved this, The Thomas And Friends Community is always so heartwarming, I always thought Thomas was real, lol, I will make this once I grow up, you kinda inspired me lol.

This was a really enjoyable video. I learnt quite a lot from it too. Particularly with painting and lining.

Really lovely video! Really exciting to see it come together! I’d have loved a more detailed segment on the RC aspect and building an eye mech but still a fun watch.

Glad to have the opportunity to finally watched your video! It actually makes me want to do Gauge 1 instead of customising a Bachmann HO thomas.

I’m so happy that there is an actual video about building prop replicas. I’ve wanted to make a replica of the big Skarloey

Thank you for including he's a really useful engine from the adventure begins and some of the scenes at the end of the vid 😀

Spectacular job man :D you're inspiring me to finally build that Edward I was thinking of doing

thats so cool i love how it looks its just like in the tv shows and the eyes is the best thing i ever seen welldone 10*10

The beginning in my opinion was the moment I know that this model was gonna be amazing from how detailed it was yelled it was to just how good the faces looked but what really settled me on this was train boy voicing Thomas

Your model came out fantastic! Looks like a prop taken off the set. I can't stress sanding/wetsanding enough when doing work like this. The prep prior to painting makes all the difference ,I went through hell painting my Strasburg Thomas shell and it took 3 tries to get it right! Very inspirational video 😎🤙

@@TankEngineJonJon thank you! I wish I knew about the surface primer stuff prior to painting, I think that would have helped with the painting on my shell better, I just used run of the mill primer. I didn't have the print lines since my shell was resin, but I still sanded/wetsanded it reguardless. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic video. Thanks for the information and tips. I have a tip for you.... I have found a supplier that supplies 1mm car pinstriping. Bought 1mm and 2mm red for my Gordon replica and they do the size in different colours

You got back into Thomas about the time I did, it's inspiring to see someone new to 3d printing do so well and it only solidifies my desire to buy one lol. I'd like to make American locomotives in S scale along with some RWS models.

It looks really good, I’d like to make my own gauge 1 Thomas model from series 8 and try and make it like yours.

I have to give credit man your video has helped me so much to make my model your step by step video is absolutely helpful could do in my opinion more depth on the electrical work cause I'm still having a hard time with that but over all my model is almost ready for the rails ❤ loved the video man you made me laugh

Just like everyone in the comments, I appreciate these steps of how to make Thomas and I really respect people like you. I may have a different relationships with communities but in the end Thomas will always be in my heart. I only wish you and the people who inspired you the best. Also on the page you credit Trainboy yo can see Trainboy's series 2 Percy. That's just heartwarming.

Looks like the real TV series model. Amazing bro!

Wow, how much investment in the small details! I miss this time when we still built miniature models, before computer animation.♥️🥰

I love this video, it's very informative! Great job on making him, he looks amazing!

Yooo this video was amazing! It’s nice to see the progress and hard work that goes into a model that’s rarely seen, this vid perfectly demonstrated the heart and soul into the dedication to these model! Glad to help and support you in anyway shape or form bro! 👈😎🤏

Perfection at its finest

This is absolutely amazing , love him

My goodness, well done my friend! It has always been a dream of mine to have a gauge 1 model of Thomas or well.. any of the engines! I don't own a 3D printer or even have the space for one... (Little person with a wheelchair in a very tiny home.) But I'd love to find someone willing to take a commission to make one of these for me one day! Or better yet, maybe I'll end up with the space and equipment needed to make my own!

i absolutely loved this video so much it was funny and amazing, that model is just outstanding and you have clearly done a fantastic job, i am now inspired to make my own now and i thank you.

That is a Fantastic Video, Amazing Work!😃❤👍

You certainly did a great job dude.

One Word. "beautiful"

I like this, very good model like the other ones that people built

This part kills me😂😂😂😂😂 Jon: sooo… I had to cut off Thomas’s *A $ $* with a Dremel and print him a new one 9:18

From what i once heard.... Thomas ( and i suppose any blue engine for that matter ) is a specific shade called "Cerulean" so you could've just grabbed a tin of that, the method you used though is still pretty cool. The more i see people making these T.V accurate replicas, the more i wanna join in the fun, if there's one word i'd use to describe this tutorial... it's inspirational. Fantastic! work dude.
