Yep if anyone would like to see what I'm hoping to achieve you can look at Wenlocks coaches on RM web now all I have to do is find my bow pen

A nice kit and a nice model .
Wenlock's model here is a superb piece of work and one which can inspire people; as I have seen your models of contemporary LNWR coaches then you can achieve the same level as Wenlock (Dave). I think that Dave has finished his C10 all third in a pretty good representation of the Dean / early Churchward fully lined livery - looks like the only simplification is the omission of the black (chocolate) line inside of the beading to the cream panels.
The C10 is different to your composite coach in that the all third did not have any toilet provision. How are you going to provide for the frosted / opaque glazing to the toilet windows?
More photos please.
regards, Graham

Just painted one of these in shirtbutton livery, not a lot of room beneath the window frames for the lining

The game is afoot I've made a start it does actually look better in real time than it does in the photo I haven't used a bow /lining pen for years but it's coming together
