New Thomas looks good

Shit ass sketches of very blue eyed Thomas calling Gordon his dad and having a child voice. Gordon is screaming that Thomas is 80 years old. A giant sign lets us know where Tidmouth sheds is

A mass exodus of staff, head admin running to the hills so he doesn't have to deal with the mess he made, Owner no where to be seen, all because they chose a transphobe over the rest of their staff. In PRIDE month no less. I guess it isn't too surprising given their track record, but OOF Dalek HQ

The prototype for my #3Dprinted GT3 body shell is done, and it's coming together quite nice. Still a few tweaks to make but we're not miles away from getting it ready to sell. #modelrailway

My 3D printed GT3 body shell, fitted onto a Triang B12 chassis. The livery is black with a red buffer beam at the front, with white for highlighted areas. The livery of the chassis was green on the original loco. It is still a work in progress as many parts are not fitted, such as the handrails.

Better shot of the front of the loco, the buffers are not black on the end as they should be as this is just a prototype. Route discs are not shown for the same reason.

A shot inside the cab through the window, this part is printed in a white filament with black window panes.

A face on shot of the loco with a light shining on the front. This highlights the red fan on the front of the loco behind the vent.

There is something to be said about the differences between being "inspired by" and blatantly ripping something off. Like you can't make this stuff up. No permission was asked, just yoinked and "It's my own original character Blonic". Pick up the pencil and design something yourselves.

Dalek HQ staff member Seylith's "New" custom, as shown off in the DHQ discord server. As described, it manages foreign relations for the empire and effectively "Human Resources" for the empire.

Prydonian's "Antalin Division Agent" Dalek. Described as diplomats in order to gain species' trust as well as to be undercover spies for the empire.

"Inspired by" tag supposedly justifying the blatant ripping off of another fan's previously established design.

Seylith explaining what each part of their custom is supposedly based on, only citing show used props and not the design by Prydonian

Alright, I come to this app at a time of great need. My 3D printer has been leaving these weird splotches in between the supports. You can see how the bottom edge is wavy and uneven, and it’s worse the closer the part was to the bed. Model is printed at a 10 degree angle. How can I avoid this?

Squid1562 @squid1562.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Good news! The body printed with no issues Bad news, the firebox LED on the chassis sticks out a hair farther than I measured, so the front cab wall hits it. But everything else fits flawlessly!

Squid1562 @squid1562.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Shell-ifying and connecting everything so it can print. I’m still salty I had to delete the detailed smokebox saddle cause the motor wouldn’t fit inside it.

So begins the process of modding the Rapido E1 into an E1x. I've got a rough mockup of the motor in CAD and a mockup of the E1x body in blender. I just need to basically transpose the blender model to my CAD software and I should be golden

So.. Lego Dalek V3. The only real change was to the shoulders, they're slightly shorter and more proportional, at the cost of being more square. But, the new design has given way to extra variants that would've been extremely difficult in V2 I've already ordered parts for the Hive Supreme irl

Its fun to think that these two models, separated by 7 years of modelling and real life RR experience, are meant to be the same locomotive. It's wild to see where I started (And that I still have this 7 year old screenshot)

A narrow gauge 2-6-0 mogul locomotive designed by me in 2018. It was largely based on a 7 1/2" gauge kit that I had seen online.

The same Mogul, redesigned in 2025. The model incorporates way more details and technical accuracy, I went so far as to calculate its theoretical power output of 21,524 lbs of tractive effort (yes I am that big of a nerd)

Not much has been going on here. The primary culprits being a lack of motivation and moving houses. Whenever inspiration strikes again, expect more stuff here.
