  • Your modelmaking and set-building skills are just impeccable. Those shots during the running sequence look like they could've been taken right out of the show. I swear each installment of this series improves more and more. Keep it up, Caleb!
  • @BriceGum138
    Gordon calling himself Big G always puts a smile on my face. Great model.
  • @usualblokeluke
    That shot of Gordon pulling the express through the countryside, absolutely stunning Really did awesome with this one in spite of all the obstacles Well done Caleb!
  • @thesudriana016
    Your model of Big G himself looks so grand! One of my favorite custom models by you!
  • @UsefulEngine11
    I will admit I kind of find it funny when you struggle a little bit. But at the same time it's all worth it to see these beautiful models come together and Gordon is absolutely looking good. And now a fine strong engine like him can talk about how good of a job you did. Keep up the good work Caleb!
  • BIG G! I mean, GORDON! One of my favourite Thomas character's alongside Toby and Oliver. I absolutely love your videos. Seeing the creative process of any artistic project is such a delight to watch, and your Thomas model videos are no exception. I'm glad I've stuck around to see you improve as a creator. In fact, I think you were one of the first Thomas Creators I ever saw at a young age on YouTube, as I vaguely remember watching your remake of the final chase in TATMR, and it absolutely blew me away. And ever since I've gotten back into Thomas, I've really come invested with the series, one reason being users such as yourself, and I hope you continue to keep up the good work and inspire people to create their own projects relating to Thomas and his Friends. Also, this isn't related to this part video, but I'd like to sincerely apologize for the fact that I didn't respond to your reply to the comment I made on your Magic Railroad video, as it made it seem like I was rude or uncouth. Put simply, I had a load of question's or my own Hypothesis to add to the discussion, but I ultimately axed everything I was going to say, since it was too long winded. Not to mention, this was I time in my life where I lacked any motivation to do anything, and I ultimately didn't have the energy in me to make reply until now. Once again, I would just like to apologise once more for my negligence, as it really shouldn't have taken me this long to respond to your reply. In future, I'll be sure to respond to any replies you make to any comments I post to your videos. I'm always willing to share my thoughts relating to the discussion of any matter, and seeing how my viewpoint differs from others such as yourself.
  • YOURE BACK! And with a fantastic model too! I can’t even begin to imagine the frustration you felt putting this guy together. But for those running shots at the end, I’d say it was absolutely worth it. Can’t wait for more man!
  • @MasterMew13
    Who else has been waiting for Gordon to come out after we saw Henry, I personally haven’t stopped be excited about this model!
  • @trainstorm1225
    I definitely agree with ya on Gordon being the most difficult, he definitely isn’t a walk in the park for sure. 😅 Even so you managed to make one hell of a model! Incredible work here, brother! 💙
  • @TTTE_Guy
    The amount of effort you go through to make these models really shows beautiful work my man
  • @Thomasfan8
    Gordon deserved that mugshot! Going through hell really paid off though, he looks absolutely stunning! 💙💙💙
  • @RedPillow159
    Phenomenal job, Caleb. I know you struggled a lot through making him, but he looks wonderful!
  • @bryantan863
    Nice job on your model of Gordon. He looks amazing dude.
