Wells Fargo Stage Coach

This stage coach was done long ago, but after Bernhard asked for pictures I added them here.

Bernhard Schrock
Moin moin. Thx for posting the pics and the link to the WIP. Are there materials that give you problems? Plastic, wood, metal, fabric, leather..... I'm simply impressed to follow you WIP. If one day you do not feel like working in your regular job anymore, open up a museum! I will be the first visitor🙂

Spanjaard
Beautiful!
send the address of the museum, i will be queuing behind Bernhard 🙂

Alec K
Gorgeous work. I am with Bernhard and Spanjaard...

Glenn
Lovely model. Something different from all the Bf-109's, F-14's and Spitfires and Tiger tanks etc, etc 🙂

Thank you mates! My wife really likes the result too 🙂 I added some impression pictures from the build.

Spanjaard

Robert W Martel
Wow very nice!

bughunter
Thank you mates! I still love to work with wood, that was a very funny project!

Robert W Martel
??? was that the Model trailways kit?

Robert W Martel
oops sorry Amati

Tom ...
Love this! Attention to detail as usual.

Thx mates! This converted me years ago from RC to static modeling 🙂

Great!

Kerry COX
You have a gift for the delicate ones bughunter. 👍 😉
Well done mate. 🙂

Very nice, I'm hoping I can do a reasonable job on the Concord I've just bought

bughunter
Thank you for your comments! 1:10 is a huge scale, so this is still a eye catcher in our living room. It was a present for my wife as she loves the series "Dr. Quinn" and this Concorde stage coach drives through the picture in the opening credits 🙂

Love it - great subject, great modeling!

bughunter
... and great material 👍 Since this stage coach I love to work with wood - more aura and charisma as plastic! So most of my biplanes carry wood propellers. 🙂

I understand. I do railway modeling in wood. Nothing looks as much like wood as ... wood.

WAHO LEU
Brilliant , i love it very mcuh.

Dominik Weitzer
this is cool!

Neuling
Very cool indeed!

Thx mates! I'm glad you like the stage coach. It was somehow hard for me to paint the wood e.g. the carriage, because it is made of nice walnut wood.

I've just started the earlier kit The Concord Stage Coach 1848.
It doesn't require painting but I think I'll varnish it to resist dust and make it shinier.
This one you've done is way more elaborate than The Concord.
I'm definitely out of my depth with this kit having only ever made stick and tissue aircraft wooden kits previously

Where did you get the Winchester rifles?
Were they in the kit?
There's no luggage or any extras at all in The Concord kit

It was also a shame to paint the nice wood of this kit, especially the walnut of the chassis frame. But at the end it looks more real with paint. Another problem are the black laser cut edges of the wooden parts. After sanding the parts are to small for a perfect fit - the paint covers the black.
Yes, two Winchester were part of the kit with many PE parts, copper barrels and a nice piece laser cut wood.
Have fun with the kit - to work with wood is relaxing!

wilky
No black edges in this kit.
Parts aren't laser cut.
It's from 1986.
