Stagecoach Guns: Hi, First picture marking and filing to shape two side plates which fit ether side of most guns today which are engraved but probably not in 1884.  Side plates with fixing screws this holds it all together  Fitting side plates with small screw driver.  Made a small stand up rack to place guns on.  This picture shows a side view of both guns top gun is the 10 gauge, lower gun shows 12 gauge.  Old west according to one account a 10 gauge was used by Wyatt Earp. Thanks for riding in and looking a the gun build. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Tony, Thanks for your comments, I must say that I am very pleased with the outcome of this part of the build, of course, research is the key here it takes time but well worth it. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Well done on those shotguns Trev! They really look just the part, I find scratch building always gives more satisfaction than simply 'putting together' a kit on its own!

Roof/Ceiling. Making a start on the stagecoach roof this will involve placing 1.5x3mm wood battens on the top side. First picture shows top side of roof plus battens.  Ceiling will have black leather to match the inside door and seats.  More soon Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

UPDATE: CEILING/ROOF TOP. First picture shows the 1.5 x 3mm wood battens fitted to the on the top of the roof,this will need to be shaped to fit,also one coat OF French Polish.  This picture shows how I upholstered the ceiling with the paper pattern in place more wood to be trimmed to fit.  This shows pattern removed but needs to be trimmed.  More soon Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).
