Ok one picture of a mock up of the interior, well I say mock up, I just need to paint the seats, glaze and varnish the walls and add other detailing and stick it all in but just to give you the general idea...


OKOK another one then!
Then longitudinal benches are apparent...

The floor has already been weathered.

Now that looks NICE! I hate people with laser cutters

Good lord Mr Bond... Speechless!! You really are a dab hand at that 2D design. I have the package now so must learn to use it properly! (I'll have to show you a drawing of my you know what project once I finished it).

Would you consider making more of these coaches?

Oh wow

That's looking excellent!

GOSH! many thanks indeed for you kind comments!
I am sort of trying to push the boat out. Highly commended was nice but....

It used to be an IP 2 compartment carriage...

WOW, if you don't win MOTY Juniors, then something is wrong, make sure the roof is removable!

am doing! I hate unremovable rooves!

I wanna see mini-Town's face when he sees it
Having said that, I bet he's got hold of a laser cutter now too

If this is the standard of the junior entries I'm bu99ered if I enter my shabby engine shed in there, definatley Lineside! (theres less entries usually meaning more chance of winning or is that just my crazy idea!). that is of course providing it is finished in time.

Anyway as has been said, beautiful work! fancy doing comissions?

As to commissions I'd love to and have made a few bits and bobs for a few people however I am legally not allowed to sell anything I make with school property.
I need to get me a LASER cutter....

WoW!! astonishing, love it, just how much is a laser cutter and how easy / hard is it to use one?

A lot, and very easy!

Mr Bonds eye for detail and shape is most impressive, as is his CAD design skills- most impressed.

Hes not the chairmans son

very nice model mr. B!

That looks very nice indeed - you'll have to start taking commissions! You won't charge us, of course, but I'm sure Arrangements could be made......................

Erm Paul, your not exactly a junior anymore either.

OK, a little advice would be appreciated. Should I paint the seats green considering they have gone a mankey grey, black charcoal colour in places or varnish them and hope for the best.
The luggage rack will be green and some picture frames will be green so maybe the seats should be too. Everything else will be varnished and weathered.

I'd be tempted to LIGHTLY sand them, stain them with Coloron wood stain, THEN varnish. You could stain the "walls" light oak, and the seats walnut or red mahogany.

That would be a lot more "carriage-like"...........

I'd agree with what Brian has said, seats are usually stained rather then painted
