Further with the carriage space

After a good day one day two started quite well beginning the padded seats

The parts were cut from the laser sheets and then I cut and glued some foam for the padding

Next was to cut suitable pieces of the faux leather to make the covering of the seat

While all this was going on I found some time to add a nice flooring with some strips I had

I thought that would make the floor look a lot better

The seats needed a seamed look so rather that pulling line of cotton tight round the finished seat I got the wife to actually sew lines on the cover with her sewing machine

I think it looks just the thing

Here are the seats in their finished state

Even the rows of stitching line up

I then got thew other parts of the carriage together and started to paint inside

I decided to use the dark burgundy as I thought it would look classy

I am having a job getting a nice smooth finish though

We will see what it looks like after another coat tomorrow after thoroughly drying

The laser cuts to both sides are the window frames 

Finally to make life easier I did the drivers seat at the same time as the main seat

I have just foamed the parts and the wife sewn the covers
