These are made up as a sub-assembly to be fixed to the back of the main part of the carriage side.
In this view you can see one which is still at the first stage and another which has got 2/3rds of the second layer of detail added.
In effect it is like making a mini-bodyside.
When adding the second layer I start with the vertical L shape piece which acts as the spacer for the inset vestibule.
On either side of the door are thick pillars and then the door itself is represented with some very fine strips above and below the window.
As the WHR carriages get a mid-life overhaul at Boston Lodge they are adding wood framed window droplights, and these are made up on the model with a third layer of detail at the back.
These door assemblies are also handed. The ones you see here are for the left hand side.
