That looks fantastic Trev, the French polish really brings out the woodgrain and makes the colour of the wood veneer much warmer too.

Lovely job mate, well done! Drool

Your stage coach cabin looks the busness. Great work

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

Yes indeed, nice work as always Trev and I'm sure this build will turn out to be something very cool when you've finished. I too am interested to know what your intentions are with stagecoach number 2?

All the best. Cool

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.

Thanks for your comments and appreciated support, well the doors are nearly finish (wood side) just the lining to go,about the stage coach 2 I will be replacing most of the wood with Oak and other pieces to still thinking.

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.

Regards

Trev.
