4Ground gave me one today (it's out at Salute) and it is jaw-droppingly lovely. I did a little wee...

Then they showed me the bank...

A huge mess in my pants followed...

Of the stagecoach I'm assuming? No-one wants to see pants mess at this time of the morning (is there a good tome to see pants mess?).

I'd be interested in seeing the stagecoach too. I'm not a fan of the pre-painted 4Ground stuff (it's purely a personal thing, the actual kits look lovely) but the more recent ones I've seen (the Undertakers and Rogan's Bar) look like a different painted finish and I like those. I'm hoping the stagecoach May be similar.

That looks very nice.  Bet it's expensive though.

I wouldn't imagine so.  Their normal wagons are many pieces but quite affordable.  This shouldn't be much more.  Maybe 7-8 pounds?

I guess of the three the Sarissa is probably the best of the bunch. Initially I liked the 4Ground but after being up close and personal with a real Wells Fargo Concord Stagecoach the heavy handed detailing from 4Ground really turns me off. I'm well aware that you can't really re-create the compound curves of the real coaches but there are other details that could have been done better.

I have pictures of a surviving Wells Fargo coach on my blog: http://wargamesandrailroads.blogspot.com/2014/02/wells-fargo-stage-coach-reference.html
