Test prints arrived today and these models have passed with flying colors!! Pickle Car --> Pickle Car --> Stagecoach --> Stagecoach --> Forgive me as www.cgnscale.com is not quite up to date, but it will be after this weekend.
Really nice lookin stuff Mark. Way outta my era but great stuff anyways !! Looks like Mark has been playin with his fud again...;-)
Looking very good. Any idea on pricing? How about doing a school bus or at least an American bus or truck shell that could fit on the Faller bus system mechanisms?
I have absolutely no use for stagecoaches on my modern layout, but those are just too cool to pass up! Now for an N scale Clint Eastwood...
Build a 'western wear' store and use one stagecoach outside as a display. HO gal hanging out with the N guys
Mark, great stuff. There seem to be people that really want to do the era these items are made for. These will help fill this part of model rail modeling that is so lacking. You may have found a way to fill that spot with items that are very lacking.
I have my old mining town, Laurel Gulch, now a tourist town, so a restored stage coach will be perfect. Mark and I were actually playing with stage coach ideas two years ago, when I was first getting my mining area planned. Never did get any built, so...
that donkey on a flat car......count me down for at least one. Can you make the donkey a seperate part also? I could use one for a scene I am working on.
Re: N scale Clint Eastwood to go with stagecoach... I recall John Wayne being exceptionally tall. If you got an Asian-made figure for a cowboy... Asian-produced details are often 1/150 scale instead of 1/160... A 1/150 Asian-produced N scale average cowboy might be a bit large...but might make a proper 1/160 John Wayne.
Great paint job, Mark! Now, all we need is some luggage on the top, someone riding shotgun (with the shotgun), and horses! Then some bandits, a young women in a bustle dress, fainting, and maybe the Lone Ranger and Tonto up on the hillside. Suddenly, James West and Artemis Gordon come riding down the road....
Ah, Mark, you're amazing. I'm only gone for a little while and look what you've done. A company and everything... Wow.
It will be a separate part, as well as a separate product. Yep, each Vat is separate, as is the roof and each support section. Once I'm able to paint, and therefore fully evaluate the designs, I'll be making minor design adjustments and then they will be available for purchase. In time, hopefully from your favorite etailer as well!
