Made a start on another scratchbuild today of Lord Penrhyns Official coach. Now working on the interior prior to assembly of body. This will make Blanche and Winifred happy at the port. Still half a dozen fullersite wagons to go with this rake.

Nice job matey! How you cutting the windows on this?

All cutting work is done with a swann and morton scalpel blade 10A
You cut up to the radi of the corner and use a round file for the profile.
You finish off with the dremel if need be.
It may look as though it takes ages but surprisingly not

The first bit of detail carried out this morning, fabricated from the old green stuff this is the brake wheel. I was fortunate enough to be able to view the inside of the coach on a recent visit to Penryhn Castle Museum as well to confirm measurements from previous published drawings.
