The first steps

 Starting the build

The first job was to cut the parts from the laser sheets and putting one part that needed bending in soak


Here are all the parts cut out with the door supports in place and secured by pegs
The darker part lower left is the bottom of the carriage and has a curved shape therefore is soaked


The carriage seat has been glued to one side and the bottom is held round a knife handle with rubber bands to give it it's shape


The curved bottom section has been securely glued into place


A side view of above


I found that the back of the carriage was also curved so I gave that a soak too
I glued the bottom first with CA glue to give a firm base to curve it round and secure it
That will do for today and I will give it a good sand down tomorrow to remove any glue
