    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.

    Thats a very clever re-jigging of the chassis!

    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!

    WOO HOO .... IT'S ALF! 🙆👏👏👍
    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  5 месяцев назад +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

    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?

      ​​​@@GWilliamsonModelsAah ... but the most important question. What colour will No.1 appear in.
      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).

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

    • @GWilliamsonModels
      @GWilliamsonModels  5 месяцев назад +1

      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
