Ever since I successfully customized the vintage Hornby Dublo gunpowder van into an LBSCR 8 ton, I did mention last time that I would consider applying a face on this rolling stock. And voila, after so much trial and error, I have finally finished constructing the face and applied on one side, imitating that same model from the episode 'Gordon And The Famous Visitor' from Thomas And Friends and the original N-scale Tomix model that came from James set. Although it may not look fully flawless as the original Bachmann models', but it was still worth it.

To constructing this face was first to create the actual face plate itself with clay, followed by using another amount of clay to creating a molding plate. The final product was created using hot glue and over it, application of Gundam marker (colors Gundam white and black) and acrylic paint. Though the solid white is applied in order to give the open-eyes look, it is almost impossible to trace when shined by light, hence black lining had be applied above the area painted in white. If Bachmann Thomas line were to make this into a next official model, then it would've been named Troublesome Truck #7.

Just in case, the original clay face and the molding block are still kept "alive" in case if I should reconstruct the face again sometime in future.
