Gauge 1 Percy Replica Model | Building the Eye Mechanism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Build log of the eye mechanism for the Gauge 1 Percy replica series. In this video, I undergo different challenges during the build process of the mechanism. It’s not a perfect nor accurate eye mechanism any means, but I’m just happy that I was even able to get it working! The TV series style mechanism was a new learning experience for me, and I am grateful that I got to expand my skills by using different methods to build something I've done before in a new way. Many thanks to @cudak888 for the vinyl stickers and to @OneTramBand for the advice!

I Just Finished A 3D Model Of Gordon And Henry On Tinkercad!
These Original Model Makings Of Thomas And Friends Really Inspired Me To Attempt To Create Fully Functional Models To 3D Print!
You Did Great!
Unironically the sound design in this video is awesome. I just wish the background music was just a little louder because it's so fun! It makes the whole process feel like a hero's journey!
Thank you so much!! I wanted to try new ways to improve my video skills while keeping my content both entertaining and informative. At the time I had invested in better audio equipment to improve quality. I'll definitely keep your comment about making the music a little louder in mind for future videos!
The man finally returned. Great to see the progress on your model. I remember watching your original eye mech along time ago. Great to see you have evolved.
You have earned a new subscriber! This is freaking sick bro! 🔥🔥🔥
Percy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's baaaack!
Pretty awesome video haha
Looking forward to the smoke unit one for sure!
With the eyes being slightly off, its now season 2 accurate 😂
That makes me feel a lot better about it LOL! Thanks!! :D

@@Enginefan020 Thank You
When the world needed him most he returns love the vid
Thank you so much!! :)
Beautiful model, can't wait to see it painted!
Thank you!! As of writing this reply, Percy is currently in the painting stage! ;)
Yes!!! my favourite man returns with an amzaing model. superb models as always my man.
Thank you so much!! :D Hoping to catch up on uploading more videos!
@@Enginefan020 Me too!
BRO WHERE WERE YOU?!
Been busy with a lot outside of the channel 😞
@@Enginefan020 with that emoji, did someone die? Is life difficult? ... dont worry. My life is basicily the same. It.Sucks.
@@Gameboy_1992 Not necessarily. It's mainly just been school and work. I recently graduated college and started a new job and the months leading up to then took a lot of time away from working on videos.
@@Enginefan020 omg. Congrads on passing. If I may ask, what job do you have?
Love this!
Thanks man!! It's good to hear from you again! :D
Since Percy and lady are the same size I bet it will work for lady
Yep! The overall eye mechanism set up should work for just about any character from the TV series.
I still like the video!
When are you doing part 3 of the gauge 1 Percy and painting him in green and his smoke box black and his running borde red?
Awesome video dude!
Thank you so much!!
No problem, eye mechs give me some trouble and I’ll probably be making one for my Duncan replica.that’s gonna be fun
I’ll post a pic of my Duncan on the Gauge 1 corner soon
Well, I'm very sorry you had to through all the problems. I really hope you can fix the eye mechanism in the near future so you won't have to deal with wonky eyes.
I think the issue with the misaligned eyes is that there is too much play between the tube and the rod, my suggestion would be to make a sort if ball and socket joint between the block and stem you could probably get away with using a lego technic universal joint honestly.
Am i the only one who noticed a spark coming from below Percy in the first clip?
Oh yeah your right
Percy had a wonky eye in the start
did a spark fly from percy’s wheels at the very beginning of the video? 😳
Yeah. Not sure why, but he does that whenever he's running.
@@Enginefan020 is he completely RC or is he picking up track power?
@@Enginefan020 ye bachmann models do that as well when off-track
Yo! How’s Percy goin? Just asking as I can’t find any recent updates
Percy is alive and well! I'm a little behind in videos I have planned for him, it's just a matter of finding time to work on videos again.
I suppose your doing a eye mech for Thomas too?
Absolutely!
Do you remember the story ideas I gave you? I was thinking of the other films before this came out. You had more time on your replica models but less on writing, I suppose a model comes first?
He looks good so where's his green paint?
Oh yeah even eye mechanisms come second.
Comeback please
i saw a little funni spark also i have this old engine way back its model and its side rods are jamming it cuz the front wheels making the side rod go up and the back one is making it go down?
I believe the spark might be caused by dirt that accumulates on either Percy's wheels or the track, of which then I would need to clean. To be quite honest, I'm not completely sure what you're asking. What type of model engine do you have that's causing the side rod issue?
@@Enginefan020 Uhms i forgot
Would’ve been funny when he got a hole he had the frightened face
It would!
Would you mind if I buy a percy from you ? Please hes my favorite engine
