Stagecoach

Nice stagecoach kit from 4Ground with added horses, drivers and passengers from Dead Mans Hand. Always wanted a stagecoach to go with my wild west town and finally found this nice one at MOAB a couple years ago. Been on the toy do list for a while. Something made me pull it out and have a go. Despite being made of presprayed thin MDF I wanted the edges painted too, also sanded the main body to be a bit more curved so repainted the whole cabin and black parts.





Stagecoach assembled and painted a bit. Added some masking tape for texture on the back part and added cardboard straps and buckles. Glued some metal base offcuts in the back luggage to counter the weight of the drivers. My only critique of the kit is the base is too small to fit the wagons wheels width, I had a new one cut for it from 3mm MDF.











Might try printing a Wells Fargo banner to stick along the top rather than freehand the text and trim.

Power Lines - 4Ground kit and Gundam TX-65 Guntank Early Type

Picked up this 4Ground 15mm terrain kit yesterday on the gamble it would look fine with 28mm stuff. Went together easy enough with PVA glue though the black insulator parts were a bit of a bugger to glue on at the end. I think it's big and imposing enough to look pretty great on the table with other stuff. A proper 28mm one is kinda too big really. Oh also built this cool Guntank Gundam kit on the weekend. It's like a giant war sized Tank-R robot.
