Just completed a 1:48 Stage coach for a friend for Christmas. He's a huge Western Fan and hopefully he'll like it!
It's from Old Glory and was a bit of a pain to put together ( especially the horse harnesses!). I'm reasonably pleased with it but haven't had enough time to weather it, it's far too clean for me!



Now I can get back to my horror stuff!
Merry Christmas.

This is really impressive work. Hats off !
The dust on the trousers of the wagon crew looks great.
Maybe you should do some weathering on the weels...

I'm taking it around his house shortly, but I might get it back off of him and finish it!

Great work PM. :o  A bit more weathering would really finish it off.

Thank you for all your comments. You will be glad to know that my friend was really pleased with it! :mrgreen:
I started it about four weeks ago and because I was working right up to Christmas I could only put in the odd hour here and there during the week and a few hours at the weekends! It was a real rush at the last minute and as was pointed out it could have done with some weathering!
I really enjoyed doing it, as it's not something i've ever tried before.
Thanks again for your comments, and I hope Santa has brought you everything you wanted!
Best wishes to all for the coming New Year.
Regards
