More work on the carriage

Following on from yesterday there was plenty to do

I got the doors together and a coat of paint on

They just need another coat or two and the window sashes

Here is the carriage and the doors just awaiting a rub down and a final coat

I am finding the acrylic paint is drying very slowly and not laying as flat as I would like

Maybe it is time to look a bit deeper into spraying

Another little job is to make up the lanterns that go alongside the driver

These are the parts

Also the hand rails for the drivers section

The pattern is under the left hand one

Here is the drivers section again just needing a light rub and a top coat

Here is the carriage pretty much painted

Just tiny bits of touching up after the fancy stuff goes on

This is one of the fancy bits

2 x 2mm strips of Sapeli to make edges look good

Here is the carriage with the strips all done

And finally I make a start on the wheels

I will have to turn down the volume as there could be some swearing or cursing!!!
