Nearly ready for paint portraits

Is the honeymoon still a week behind the 'fridge?
We have been upgraded to behind the chest freezer.
Today, Life and its bottomless bag of spanners is playing a big part. All kinds of shenanigans going on, mostly being sorted satisfactorily, but which will leave me feeling vaguely unsettled for the rest of the day.
I realised I hadn’t taken any overview photos of the coaches.
Let’s see if I can get this right. This is a D.2102 BTK Brake Third.
This is the other D.2102 BTK from the corridor side.
The fancy end of the D.2301 CK composite.
D.2301 CK, wide view compartment side.
A slightly lower angle that more or less shows that lovely fiddly stuff under the frames.
Finally, the D.2401 BCK brake composite. This is the "strengthener" coach, and has all the end details save for the couplings.
Still a fair bit to do, but I think the paint shop beckons early next week. I have to admit to feeling pretty good about these models. They’re turning out just fine.
(Famous last words!)
