Are you going to stain and varnish it?

Are you going to stain and varnish it? L&N nut Jon Thanks! Some of it is already pre-painted and I'm going to go for a cherry/mahogany interior. Got some bottles of Polly Scale colors that I think will get me there. I’d say that your chances are as thin as a homeopathic soup made from the shadow of a pigeon that died of starvation… Country: USA | Posts: 1754 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 05/19/2013 :  11:37:38 AM     Got all of the interior together; just have to assemble it and insert the floor unit.

Used the original roof and the fit is less than perfect, but I'm going to leave it at that.

That's some pretty neat carpeting on the floor Country: Canada | Posts: 2158 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 05/28/2013 :  8:59:34 PM     Nicely done interior, Martin. Have you thought about lighting it? George Country: USA | Posts: 14636 Frederic Testard Engineer Premium Member Posted - 05/29/2013 :  03:30:44 AM     Very nice work on the car, Martin. The inside detailing is great. Country: France | Posts: 17652 Ensign Fireman Posted - 05/29/2013 :  08:19:30 AM     Beautiful looking coach Martin,I really love the interior work! Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 7780 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 05/29/2013 :  08:22:09 AM     Thanks, gentlemen! That carpeting really only covers the aisle and bit more so the wood is visible - just the camera angle. Carpeting material is just dollhouse wallpaper cut into a strip with a quck spray of contact adhesive and dropped into place. Lighting it -- I did think about it. If I could do that by battery and lights in the roof, that would be perfect. Got any suggestions on that possibility, Goerge? Thanks, Frederick! I'd almost forgotten how much fun it is to do an interiorr nearly board by board. Gets tedious until you see the light at the end of the tunnel and begin to believe it's the exit in sight. One other detail I'd like to add are some period dressed passengers - not sure where to find those in 1/48 O scale. I think I can find 1/43 ones, but they may be a tight squeeze.

I was hoping you'd show us how it's done. George Country: USA | Posts: 14636 bitlerisvj Fireman Posted - 05/29/2013 :  12:49:29 PM     Hi Martin, that car is very nice. I especially like the interior, carpeting, seats, etc. Did the seats come with the kit or did you add them? Very nice job, as usual. regards, Vic B.

Seats are just Grandt Line - paint the parts and put them together. I imagine if there were seats in the original kit that they would have been wood bench forms covered with a velour paper to simulate upholstery or just painted.

Would have really liked them to be slightly smaller to get the additional lettering that preceded the number, but it's probably just going to have to do as is...

The "bare" wood box cars, ought to have been clear varnished and left alone just to show the work, and detail one just one of them! NICE woodwork man, gotta love it!
