more progress on Paxton here is trying the lining with posca pen 

other side

doing the lining 

finishing the lining on one side 

and the other too

the back 

this is why its important to look at multiple pictures of different angles and even the show as Paxton has back lining. his back buffers are black and not orange I might paint the buffer beam a lighter orange as the side rods. overall I like acrylic more than spray paint as you can do more than spraying and makes a more mat result I just need to glue cardboard at the back of the big square hole and get the trackmaster model for the face as he is faceless at the moment

Looking good T-Real. I may have missed it but will you be replacing the face and if so with what?

[Therealblack64YT]

the face will be a trackmaster Paxton face

Looking good so far! All I can say is try to be steady with the lining, Paxton's lining is infinitely harder than Sidney's lining and I've done a TOMY Paxton three times now!

I have often struggled with 'lining' on customs. One of the most frustrating thing modelers face. I haven't actually tried it yet (except on flat surfaces) but it may be worth a try since you can find them in many widths and colors. Like Pactra Trim Tape if you can find it.


May not do well on the bumpy surface of Paxton though. I wonder if there is any soft vinyl tape in colors and widths out there? I know that YouTuber 'Custom Trackmaster' makes his own with vinyl sheets and the CriCut machine which I may try out on mine at some time.

While I never showed it here (save for one item in 2016), I have my own childhood Bob the Builder collection that consists mainly of the friction vehicles by Born to Play. That Roley already had grey rollers, but I repainted mine metallic grey to better resemble the ones on the stop motion model (without taking them off). Even though I used acrylic paint (mixing silver with black IIRC), none of it ever rubbed off to this day.
