Finished and ready for painting :-)
Just let the glue cure a little more in the sunshine.

Hi all.
Spray painted undercoats and topcoats last Wednesday to allow them to dry and cure before the weekend - no touching.
Spent a couple of days cutting and fitting glazing to make the coach watertight. Fitted a pair of IP bigies and buffers to make the coach shell usuable and drove over to North Wales on Saturday with the coach and my WHR stock to have a run on the Wigfa railway. Thank you Dave for making us so welcome.
Dropped a few spare batteries in the empty coach to add a little weight and she/he behaved beautifully.

Managed to find a little time this afternoon to start cutting strips for droplights and found some mahogany for seating. Should make a good contrast with the pine panels inside.
