Unfortunately I return to twitter to hawk my wares. You might remember me as JMS_Models- I've since rebranded and moved to bluesky, but I'm back to let you all know of my first official Fourmill Models product in development my 'Bachlin' BR 78 Valve gear and rods. A thread 🧵1/6

"Duncan, was delighted with Peter Sam's dilemma!" "Fancy not securin' ya freight cars on a hill! They'll come back to spook ya, and ya special funnel... Woo-ooo!" Here is the King of Rock 'n' Roll himself, Duncan! Happy Halloween!

We have a small Halloween reveal for everyone 🎃By some miracle, we managed to get our hands on an original Duncan faceplate. Our dummy model did not come with one so we were never able to keep faces on the model for more than a brief moment in fear of them falling off.

the block button ain't enough i need trampy dead 💀

3 Commission slots currently open! Read below and DM me if interested!

BEHOLD DUNCAN MK 3 The usual build with my bashed motion and the new Westcliff Douglas variant, the V3-D. This shell offers a tweaked front end to match him as per the illustrations ;). Btw, Westcliff will soon have a website up for browsing her range, so keep an eye out ;)

Sleepy and Clenched Percy faces. This version of the clenched is closer to the S1 sculpt, but this version was never used on screen.

I'm putting up the files for the Bachlin cylinders for everyone to tinker with while the first batch is being made. Hope you all enjoy! Henry's cylinders are sourced from CADs by @The_lbsc_thomas, and Gordon's from CADs by Rosie @jamostrainos https://t.co/lH158J94Mz

IMPORTANT SALES THREAD‼️‼️ Hey all! @FlyingPringle and I are selling some models because… …well you’ve seen the economy lately so you can probably guess lol I had fun plans for these but need to make some room Shipping is USA only within the lower 48 states (pic for attn.)

Bachlin BR 78 valve gear assembly tutorial coming soon.

If you enjoyed the Dennis models made by @m_r_jrod and @Sodormail1992, you can make your own with the files below! Files include the body (with and without steps,) the steps, buffer, and tool boxes. No chassis at the moment, but there are plans for one! https://t.co/s4aQwaBqLr

Dennis the lazy diesel. Thank you to @Fourmill_Models for the shell, @MaxArtemas for his wheel covers and @Thomasmodeller1 for his face.

As I mentioned in a reply to the tweet I'm quoting, Henry's cylinders cause some interference with the wheels since they lack Gordon's cutout. I'll let people smarter than me troubleshoot the solution and then spread the word! 3/3

I've got some minor adjustments to make so the rods don't bump against the cylinders like in the video, and after that a new full batch will be ordered. In the mean time, I'm about to release the files for the cylinders so people can get started with them! 2/3

The replacement rods came in from @ponokohq just the other day, and they look great just like all the others. I tested various settings to make sure these turned out better than the original batches, and ultimately decided that the versions you see here are the best. 1/3

@__JayTrain @TheOldGuardsVan Rosie’s Gordon cylinders AND Knowah’s Henry cylinders, but yes. I’ll be releasing the files soon for free, but be warned that Henry’s seem to cause interference with the standard Gordon/ Henry bogie. I’ll let people smarter than me figure out the solution.

Only real tweak that needs to be made is the height of the clip that the valve gear hanger fits in to, but it's also just the clip from the body cut off and re-positioned for the sake of a quick test anyways. Valve gear works excellently otherwise.

:)

Happy to announce that the prototype rod etches came in today and they all look great! There’s a missing etch that Ponoko is replacing due to a manufacturing error on their end which I’m told will be arriving soon, but everything here is still giving me a lot of useful info.

Coming Soon?
