Good evening Rusty Crew! I wanted to share some warm up draws of Rita I’ve been doing over the past few days featuring her in some cool racer/street wear fashion! Want to push my outfit design so I’ve been using Pinterest to find some sick fits. #ocsky

Ember saw her first run in public at the midland garden railway show this weekend. She was definitely turning heads when she trundled round. I didn't think it would be as fun as it was, but low and behold, going to need to find out where I can do this more often...!

Had to send the first one back due to a messed up screw thread, but the Rapido Stirling Single is an absolute beauty. Makes me wish I had somewhere proper to run it, as well as some suitable stock. For now, the workbench will have to do. #TMRGUK

I don’t normally do this but thank you to everyone who’s following me. I recently reached 100 followers and that feels like a genuine milestone for this account. I hope you all enjoy what I share on here, I’m still a little uncertain with what I’m posting at the moment. 1/4

Worsley Works carriage update, it’s now mostly soldered and bolted together. Time to work on the next challenges, most important being getting the bogies and couplings on. With the intended bogie pivots being too close to the ends, I’m gonna need to drill new ones. #BSMRGUK

Kind-hearted scout leader Andrea Potter made it her mission in life to protect a colony of endangered red squirrels that lived in the woodland near her home. She would provide them food, study them and eventually earn their trust, all the while keeping their home a secret… #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

The show must go on! Graham Guernsey has been in show business since the early 1990s with an act that has enchanted audiences across Alton Island. While he retired in the mid-2000s he soon became restless and eventually began working on a new show for a new generation… #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

The vast plains to the east of Alton Island had rarely been explored before 1990. American survivalist Louis Schwarzkopf became the first to do so, living off the land for months and discovering new landmarks. However the plains hid a terrible secret… #AltonIsland #AltonTowers #ThunderLooper

Heard that #Ristar just had his 30'th anniversary. Decided to do a quick drawing of him together with his spiritual siblings Sonic (werehog specifically cuz stretchy arms!) and Tangle since all three were inspired by Sonic's prototype, Feel the Rabbit X3 #Sega #SonictheHedgehog #Fanart #Gaming 🎨 🎮

Alton Island may not be large but it is well connected. Sir William Algenon provides an air travel service using a fleet of zeppelins that transport people and goods to anywhere on the island. In spite of a few safety fears from others he remains dedicated to his role. #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

The Demon King had corrupted many of the residents of Alton Island, forcing them to do his bidding. Among them was Ross Hustler, once a builder and now the bloodthirsty bodyguard to the Demon King. His eventual rescue after over 20 years humbled him greatly. #AltonIsland #AltonTowers #Ripsaw

Shy, timid and anxious. Maisie Alderton has always been the nervous type, struggling to overcome her fears. One day she decided enough was enough. She decided to travel abroad to help face her anxieties. Now she regularly travels between her home and the US east coast… #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

New challenge for this year: build a brass carriage kit. Specifically a Worsley Works carriage, which has no instructions and are more scratch-aid kits than actual full kits. The sub-assemblies have gone together well but I can’t work out how it all connects. Bah.

Space Mountain my beloved… I was obsessed with this coaster after my first rides in 2004. Knowing what I know now it’s no wonder (♾️🤔). Despite the degradation of the ride theme it’s as beautiful as ever. I pray that one day we can return to the moon as the lore intended…

Now I’m back it’s time to post; my wife and I made our first trip to Disneyland Paris together! It was my first time in 20 years and her first time at any Disney park! Yes it was bloody cold but we had a fantastic time and the three days we were there went by so fast.

Alton Island has a rich history and thus many ghost stories surround its society. Devon Glamorgan regularly leads ghost tours around the historic towns and knows a lot about these tales. They might even know a few ghosts personally..? #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

Within the woods of Chetwynd Island live a large community of forest sprites. For hundreds of years they lived in harmony with nature in regions humans rarely explore. Village elder Warren Klippe has looked after his people for almost a century and still has plenty ahead! #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

Chance Crouch was once a formidable drill instructor, hired by the government to train the perfect soldiers for an elite squadron. After years of intensive training he moved into R&D, working on a secret weapons project. He remains an intimidating figure to others. #AltonIsland #AltonTowers

Rita Tamin has loved cars her entire life. Her father owned a car company, she started racing at 8 years old and was fixing cars by 15. At 25 she began racing professionally with one of her many supercars. Queen of the racecourse, few can match her speed and skill. #AltonIsland #AltonTowers #Rita

Geoffrey Bailey spends his days warning travellers of the dangers of the gloomy woods, armed with tales of those who had wandered into the fog never to be seen again… Haunted Hollow.

Keith Drummond has several hobbies but the one he’s most enthusiastic about is pinball. He owns and maintains several classic machines and routinely travels to find and test new releases. OCs don’t need super complex designs. They’re just ordinary people. #AltonIsland #AltonTowers #SpinballWhizzer

Miles Kelman is not your average doctor. He has pioneered VERY unconventional treatments which some consider unethical but always get results. He has struggled with his mental health over the years but he masks it with his confidence and charisma. Smile always 😁 #AltonIsland #AltonTowers #TheSmiler
