I just realized that I dont think I've ever told y'all about the most irreplaceable engine in my collection.

...Hazel...the black five is incredibly common. Not this one.

Several years ago I found a listing for a Black Five in Ebay. She was extra detailed and cost more than I wanted to pay, but for some reason...I fell in love. I won, flinching at the price...until I got a message from the seller. She was from Britian, and the seller was a former BR Driver...a former steam driver.

This was his model of his old locomotive. She had been modified to reflect the engine he used to drive. He had got a new tooling to replace the model, so he was selling the old one, but had wanted the person who bought her to know her significance.

Okay this is my 1st question but... I'm nervous, but I'll try not to make it to uncomfortable

How is the ask hazel blog?

Hi there! My Christmas and New Years was good, thanks for asking!

OMG THANKS @iamthelordofcheese!!

I take forever with CC. He started off totally different and I just kept adjusting until I was happy with him. But yeah, the sliders are not very forgiving at all lol. I used NPC Manager to import Burd (from Bruma) as a preset since I noticed some models have very unique faces and I worked from there :)

Took me hours, even had to go to bed, then work and then come back home and adjust some more lmao Also I feel like the colour of the eyes help with the softness, I love brown eyes so much 🫠
