Another day on the seats and carriage

Another coat of burgundy finished it off nicely
I think I tend to paint coats a shade too quickly and I must learn to wait for it to totally dry


Here are the window frames
They now just need to be glazed
The brass is for the curtain rods
I have a thought that I may have curtains up at the back as well
You never know
The passengers may want a little privacy


The carriage body painted, seats fitted and windows fitted
Also the planked floor given a few coats of varnish


Next job was to fit the front of the passenger compartment
It was a pig to do as it is very slightly curved and the outer uprights that it is fixed to a very thin and fragile
The curtains were very kindly made by the wife


Finally a nice inside shot showing everything in place
I am not sure HOW you make the folds in the curtain look right in miniature
