Al Very interested to see how you do this one. It has a couple of areas that look really complex so really interested to see how these bits should be done correctly. Its the infilling of the side panels and shaping to get that rounded finish that i am interested in following. Hope it all goes together well for you. Happy Modelling

Done a little more on this and so before assembling the chassis I ventured further into the instructions and built the coach framework. Although its all square it still feels a little bit fragile but hoping that once the one piece front/base/rear panel is curved over it will stiffen up Al Spal attached the following image(s):

Nice start though I suspect the fun bit will be fitting the wheel spokes.

I was going to say its good to see you getting started on this but then I noticed I missed your first post last week  I will be watching, with all the different materials used to build this it does look rather interesting.

As expected once the clamps were removed the coach is now a lot more rigid. Having trimmed the excess wood from the one piece sides/base, its had a light sanding and is now ready to have some work done on the inside. Al Spal attached the following image(s):
