4 Door Saloon

That's all four doors completed for the WHR Service Carr 2011, and the next stage is to mount them behind the central section of the saloon, detail-up the ends, and fix it all together into a box shape.

I mentioned before that these door sub-assemblies are very complex models in their own right.

I had a quick count up and each one is made up of 28 separate pieces of styrene which have to be cut to size and glued in position. No wonder it takes about an hour to assemble each one.

In this pic you can see two of them turned over showing how the window droplight detail and the inset steps beneath the door are formed.



Oh, and in case you were desperate to know the exact shade of paint used on the Romanian ballast wagon (see the previous post) Himself has now reminded me it is Railmatch EWS maroon.
