Title: May be my best model: Wells Fargo Stage Coach, scale 1/10
Post by: Bughunter on December 14, 2018, 08:34:25 AM

Wells Fargo Stage Coach

2012 is finished a wooden stage coach in scale 1/10. Was build from a Amati kit as present for my wife, with build service. I improved a lot of parts, it mostly wood, mahogany, walnut, ... wallpaper inside. Also PE up to 0.8mm is part of the kit. The suspension is made from real leather!
The base or floor is made from real red oak veneer and a thread, like done by ship modellers.

Building scaled originals instead of simple models is undoubtfully your signature. Congratulations on this beautiful coach.
