Flynn/Behind the Scenes

Television Series
Flynn is a fictional vechle created by Sharon Miller.

In 2011, Flynn made his debut in the special, Day of the Diesels.

In his introduction, Flynn was voiced by Rupert Degas (UK/US) in the CGI version of the series on both sides of the Atlantic, respectively. Ben Small replaced Rupert Degas for the seventeenth Series. Since the nineteenth series, Rob Rackstraw voiced Flynn in both english dubs.

CGI Model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In 2010, Flynn was modelled in full CGI by Nitrogen Studios for the 2011 film, Day of the Diesels. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.

According to Greg Tiernan, the CGI models are subjected to many rounds of review before they are submitted to HiT Entertainment for final input and approval.
