    Alf doesn't need to move, all he does is spin the planet so his destination reaches him!

    So glad to finally see the Alf project uploaded and truthfully it didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to see Alf running around the layout when it is all complete.

    I really enjoy seeing these projects come together. I hope to build a narrow gauge Skarloey layout someday, maybe Crovan's Gate or something.
    Speaking of Skarloey, are you gonna take part in this year's Awdry Diorama Challenge?

    I need to buy so many things from westcliff lol. I have an alf body from shapeways, but its an old design that lacks a lot of detail, so i made it Fred from the Railway Series. Lovely job as always!

    Top job as always George. What is it about the prototype which has gained it such a loyal following over the years?
    Perhaps it's just down to it being a completely unpretentious little workhorse which gets any job done .... eventually!

    • @GWilliamsonModels
      @GWilliamsonModels  Місяць тому +1

      I’m not too sure, I like it just because it’s so different to the typical diesel shape, and being a solid block, it pulls like a horse

    Do you use car primer for metal or plastic? I wondered if the metal version has more acid and will ruin the resin.

      No I use it for pretty much everything, as long as the body has been properly cleaned, I haven’t had an issue with resin

      I was pleasantly surprised how well the latest "Stratford Ultramarine" goes with a rake of pristine red carriages (and tbh, I'm a fan of the very smart standard bronze green).
