2 Horse Power Steam Coach ...* FINISHED PICTURES ADDED *

[Flashman14]

Pappa, where did you get the paved base in big pieces like that?

[The_Beast]

Not my auction, not my responsibility, but found a gold coach here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Cinderella-Coach-Wedding-carriage-Favor-Plastic-/150481963356?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23096c895c

Cut and paste the auction number to your locale-appropriate eBay site.

The seller ships internationally, though it'll come to about $10US with shippage to the UK. Have you all tried looking at local wedding establishments?

Anyway, I'm saved from trying to buy in bulk (I found an even cheaper option than the one first given) and I don't have to do that !@#$ paperwork. ;->=

Thanks for the link, I grabbed one.

Your stuff is insane!

(In a good way)

Just received my wedding favour coach from ebay. I've got some sheet styrene for the conversion work.

Next question: where did you get the seated lady from in the coach?

I'd also be looking for a seated driver, wearing a tricorne. Anyone any ideas for a suitable figure? Oh and two regular horses, I wont be making steam powered ones!

Oh, good gosh, do we have to do everything for you? Next, you'll be wanting us to cut the card for you!

Hm... I do need some sheeting for my armored coach; as long as you're cutting anyway, would you be a dear and... 

Seriously, glad someone could use the link, and it didn't turn out to be a disaster. Few of my good deeds go without out SOMEONE being punished, usually the recipient.

And if Mr. Thunder gets TOO uppity, ask him where those darn tripods are! That'll show 'em.

I have 2 extra of these coaches in hand if anyone wants them, PM me.  I sent 2 to the UK last week for ~$6 US.  The cost of the coach is ~ $1 US.

Well what are forums like this for, but to ask questions and seek answers from the wise ;-) ?
If someone here recognizes the figure it will save me hours of ploughing through the great plethora of mini manufacturers that are out there these days... time is precious after all... I'd rather spend it making and painting than staring at the screen!

Oh and if you want to cut my styrene, by all means feel free to pop over, although it is a slight jaunt from Nebraska to New Zealand, but I'll have a couple of snags on the barbie waiting, and with a click of the heels of your ruby slippers, you'll be home in time for milk and cookies!

[Pappa Midnight]

Wow....talk about thread-o-mancy.........
Sorry, I haven't been on-line much and hadn't noticed additional comments on this thread.

Thank you all for the continuing interest.
To answer a few questions:
The base is a styrene sheet from "wills" , dressed stone I believe. I just cut it to shape and backed it with plastic card.
The female miniature is from the "westwind" Gothic Horror Range and is a passenger from the "Hansom Cab" in the Jekyll and Hyde section. Unfortunately I don't think you can get her on her own.

Any more questions feel free to ask ( I'm back!!!!)

Regards

*ahem* Ruby slippers to Kansas, not Nebraska... 

As for this forum, most of time, my questions are answered before I ask; actually, before I realized I needed to ask. Let's do the time warp again!

...( I'm back!!!!)...

Viz. your recent posts and my own feelings of inadequacy, scarier words were never spoken! 

Doug

[jscottbowman]

Thanks Pappa, I'll check out westwind.
I also found some possibilities myself at Eureka in their c18th civilians range.
I just need to figure out a seated, tricorne-wearing driver, but I have feeling that may be a conversion job...

Nebraska?...Kansas?... quick look at the map, damn I was close; adjoining state, not bad for POM turned kiwi... At least, I didnt believe it was possible to walk from Australia to New Zealand via the 'land bridge'...

Would a coach of that type fit in ECW time? Not a huge coach officiando (spelling). Doomsdave how much for shipping to Australia?

Sorry I missed your response.  All are taken.

I'm glad someone raised this thread from the grave, I'd hate to have missed it!
