Hi Walter,thanks for looking in, it took me some time to do and there will be more to add working on the suspension now its nearly all metal parts which I will have to bend and paint. What's your next build Walter I see there are plenty on your self ? Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Trev!
I´m currently struggling mightily with my F-15 build (first time air brush and first plastic kit since 1995!) - as you can see in the "Aviation member build diaries"-section.

Update Stagecoach Main-carriage. Well it's has been along time from the last post but I am working on a large diorama of a western town.The models are completely scratch built from drawing board to wood (Coffee sticks) Pictures this time are the finished carriage fitted with hand brake/respective rings on the springs which are made from wood bent to shape and sprayed matt black,you can see how I fitted the suspension springs to the carriage with brass fittings supplied with kit just needs a touch of solder each end.  The next few pictures are of the finished carriage   Thanks for looking Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Excellent work Trev.  Now, a Western Dio. You`ve peaked my interest.  Shot cowboy`s falling from the roofs of buildings, Red Indians firing arrows from horse back, just make them bad shots as you don`t want bits of splintered wood on that wonderful stagecoach.   Will enjoy seeing what you come up with.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

@ Ken @ Derek @ Tony Thank you for your comments it always makes me feel good to read them. The diorama that I spoke of will be scaled about 1.76 which is very small in comparsion to the coach but what I have planed it will look far away. On the photo side of things it will be a challenge,I have all ready set three buildings up to test the scale and that took up about 15 ft to get it ok,but what a challenge.

Hi,hope you are all ok,so what have I been up to, well still working on the Stage-Coach it has been slow progress due to Covid-19 but I have made some boxes one for guns and one for explosives (not in kit. .jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) .jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) .jpg?width=590&height=370&fit=bounds) The explosives were made from 4mm/6mm round dowel.
