Looks like a super nice kit with lots of detail. You are doing a great job of building and finishing it. I hope it is actually 55 centimeters long. 55mm would only be about 2 inches. Keep posting.
I have assembed the frames and painted metal with shellac (work perfect like primer) , then I have paint with brown water based Vallejo colors and glossy Humbrol.
I rounded the corners and edges of the wooden cushions
I glued the silk with vinyl and I put a sponge with a weight to make the fabric adhere to the edges
I cut the corners and folded the fabric on the back
this is the result
the third class benches are more complicated
I made the luggage nets and even these were not simple to build, I made them on the bench on a double sided adhesive tape
finally, now I'm doing the doors.
the toilet door opens on two hinges, the others open on pins
these are the doors that open on the pins, for now I have finished only one
Very nice job on the seats. Looks similar to what I did on my Mexican train so I know how much work it takes. I have never seen a coach rest room that opened to the outside, very interesting. It is all looking wonderful!
My goodness but that coach is looking comfortable. I may have to re-watch the movie "Honey, I Shrank the Kids" to see whether I can get shrunk small enough for a ride in that coach!
Wow, if those photos were taken with an outdoor background they would be hard to tell from the full sized prototype. Great work.
