A master at work. You're giving away all of your secrets Gary, thank you.
Great WIP, TOP photos, I'm sure you'll inspire a few others to have a go at coach building.

Gary,

I don't know how I missed this build until now.....guess maybe I'm still finding my way around. Anyway, what a spectacular build. Perhaps it is best that I just found it as it may have discouraged me from posting my kit build.
On the other hand it is good to be able to observe what can be created by someone with real talent!

Cheers,

Jim

Thanks Digger.

I've no intention of ceasing posting. Even though I'll most likely never be a scratch builder, it is still rewarding to get feedback on my kit builds.

Cheers,

Jim

heres a look at the other side i've steel got a lot of work yet to do the luggage rack i'll do next.. the top you see comes off i leve the top that way so folks can see inside and it's a ton of work to build it that way and keep the curves going it has a lid inside as well that curves with the top side to side and fore and aft..could be starboard an port...i had a Cowboy Buddy that was a Sailor,when we would pull up to the hay stack he would tell me what side he wanted be on just a thought from the past...i miss you Jack....

Great pics Gary,

It would appear to be life size if you didn't have those cinterblocks in the pic.....

And I like your idea of leaving the top removable......may have to try that.

Cheers,

Jim

I agree with Jim, Gary. It does look like a full-sized one. Great work.

looking absolutely great, beautiful, fantastic Gary

I take it the horses are wooden?...that is great workmanship

[_fly_]

Nice Gary,

Knock me over with a wooden horse....

Amazing

[Hermit]

It's looking really great, Gary.
And I have to comment on the horses too - a work of art in themselves, without the coach.

[TKO]

Looking good Gary.
