Hey everyone, I decided to show off a simpler custom that I made today, it’s my custom Metal Collection “Origins James”. I basically bought another. James took him apart, sanded him down, added an undercoat and painted him black with red lining. while I wanted to base him on the TVS depiction of his black livery, I ultimately decided to base him on the illustrations which depict them with a black dome and without a number, I kinda like it that way, though I did consider giving him LMS lettering on his tender since the L&YR was absorbed into the LMS in 1923, but ultimately went against it as I don’t think they would’ve cared to even paint the lettering on his tender. Once again, this is isn’t perfect, but I’m happy with how it came out regardless. When Gordon’s new face arrives, I will make a video documenting how I made both of them as well as another custom, but for now I’m pretty satisfied with my efforts.
