Brad King’s Diesel 10 model.

Here you can see the detail Brad went into to create Diesel 10.

Brad put incredible care and creativity into crafting this handmade model of Diesel 10, the mischievous diesel engine from the Thomas & Friends series. Every feature—from the bold yellow body to the expressive face—was sculpted and painted with precision to bring the character to life. One of the most impressive elements is the large mechanical claw mounted on top, which Brad carefully built and attached to reflect Diesel 10’s signature feature. The model’s design includes fine details such as windows, vents, and panel lines, giving it a lifelike and animated presence. This project highlights Brad’s ability to combine his sculpting skills with character design, turning a block of material into a recognizable and beloved figure full of personality and charm.
