(Nearly) finished coach

 

OK, for the moment, I'm going to call the Roundhouse coach kit finished. 

It needs people inside, but I'll pick those up at a show. It's nice to go with a shopping list as this reduces the amount of random "stuff" will buy. Because you simply must buy something at a show. 

Screwing the roof down has worked, and from normal viewing angles, isn't as horrible as you might think. Once I glue the top down, I'll give it a coat of tissue - being able to see the wood grain is far worse than four small screws. 

The "quick" project took a little longer than expected, but it was fun, and if I can pick up another couple of kits for the same price, I'll happily make a three-coach train. My little improvements made a difference to the outside, and I'll certainly do those again to add a little life to the sides. 

Right, now what next?
