Your stage coach cabin looks the busness. Great work Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain

Hi two doors to make both from thin ply board Walnut strips and 2x5xx batten now to make the doors look bulging like the rest of the body work I need 6 pieces 2x5mm batten glued to the door to give a convex shape sand down to the lower part of the doors by removing all the sharp edges.

Trev. Very neat. Looks complex though having to shape all of the battens to get the correct curves. I see from you planned builds you have another one of these lined up. What are your plans for that one? Is it going to be a painted version next time around? Hope it continues well. Tony Happy Modelling

Hi Tony, Thanks for looking in, I have finished the wood part of both doors and now working on fitting the lining. Not sure about the second Stage Coach, what I mean Tony is that this is a good model for the money but there are areas the need attention which I have thought about and will alter when I build it. More soon keep looking. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Alan, Thank you for looking, well the build is moving on a pace now I have just started the door and seat lining, and to make it look acceptable just takes time but keep looking I am not far from finishing them.
