Custom Millie

6 Replies, 6974 Views

I've found another top quality Thomas project by a parent as opposed to someone in the fandom. Rovanite, who normally specializes in sculpting and building things like cosplay props and miniature figurines, took a TrackMaster Bash and turned it into Millie for his daughter. As with the Wooden Railway Steamworks by GNK108, the only "problem" (if you can call it that) is that it's overly detailed and the cab and funnel exceed the "loading gauge". If anything, it looks like it should be used with Bandai's Departing Now range. Nevertheless, he did an incredible job on her.

The images don't seem to show up here, so I'll link to them instead:

I rather like that. Each to his own of course, Dala, but I wouldn't call that 'overly detailed'.

Very imaginative, I like it. Is that Cab 3D printed? Sure would like to see a video of her running.

Yes, all the new parts were 3D printed. Here's his response to a Reddit comment:

Quote:I started off with "Bash" (Bash/Dash/Ferdinand), 3D designed a new cab, front piece and funnel, then sanded all the pipes off and used electrical wire to create new pipes. I repainted the face too to make it more feminine like Millie's 

However, he did say the cab and funnel will be shortened for clearance after he tested her.

Thanks Da-lag he did a fantastic job. Great ideas. Wow, he repainted the face, I thought he may have used a face from Ashima or the like, very well done

I see that You're making this because the Official Version of her was Cancelled.

Is that True?
Hello Wagon Rider Set and welcome to BluePlasticTracks.

I think Da-lag, the original poster, was showing us the he discovered this custom Millie that was created by a parent for their daughter. It wasn't him who made it.
