Kevin and Elliott,
Thanks for the confidence votes! VK's talent has caused a change in plans. He recently took a vintage coach (high class), recolored it, modified it slightly and generally cleaned it up. I decided to use that one as my fancy coach with white horses. It took me a day or two to decide how I was going to detail it. I have the side panel "kits" cut out and I have included a picture. I included a copy of the wheels; those will be built in stack format, like my other wheels. I haven't yet decided on the details for the rest of the coach. Once I assemble the side detail, I will cut the windows out on the plain base unit. I will then glue the back plate on and cut the windows out in it (you can see a couple of punch holes in the back plate), Then I will glue the window panel to the back plate. Theoretically, it should work.

I got one last thing accomplished today; I finished the front wall of the connector building. I added the angled shot to better show some of the layered overlays. For instance, the archway has a double thickness overlay with additional overlays on the top and the two side bands.

I had a little problem with the wall and learned something important. The sheets that I used for the overlays were all printed on a HP Photo type printer. The sheet containing the door and the windows that I glued on the back of the wall were printed on larger HP machine that takes both A3 and A4 paper, because my Photo machine went belly-up. It turns out that all printers, even those manufactured by the same company do not have necessarily have the same default print size settings. The A3/A4 printer default size is just a hair smaller then the Photosmart. Over a page, it becomes a noticeable difference. Instead of just being able to glue the block of windows with the small door to the back, I had to separate the door and the windows above the door from the other windows, If I had left them connected, the door and widow set would not have aligned properly. By separating the two sections, I was able to center the individual sections, so that the slight size difference is not noticeable (unfortunately, I still know the error is still there).

On the brighter side, the coach did not turn out too badly and I was able to cut the fringe on the end of the drivers seat. It only shows if you tilt the coach side (photo 2), but once, again, I know it is there. And now the photos:

I know it has been a while since I posted anything here. No, I have not been sleeping; I have been slowly working the build. I have completed the passenger cage for the Tudor straight-sided coach and partially assembled the passenger cage for the "fancy" coach. I have to make a bottom for the fancy coach and decide what to use for axles and the wagon tongue assembly. It is going to be a kit-bash modification from the Tudor coach. I am not sure, at this moment, if I can figure a way to make the front wheels turn. Also, after going back and looking at VK's design thread, I realized that I will need SIX horses for this rig. On the up side, I have glued the four walls of the Guild Hall together and started work on the egg-shell interior brace. I cannot put the roof on the building, until I install the egg-crate. The open entry-way prevents me from installing the egg-crate from the bottom. End of ramblings; here are some photos of coach build (that is a US Quarter).

And here are the photos of the Hall, so far. You will see some areas that are not layered; these areas will be covered by the attached building.

You know you need to do one in white and have it pulling up in front of the Disney castle...

Beautiful work

EDIT -- it can be pulled by a four horse team or six

VK,

Thanks, and thanks for the tip about the horse count. But 6 horses coming down the road would be impressive. I probably will have to settle for 4, because I don't think 6 will fit with all the stuff I am putting in this layout. It will be "busy". Right now, I am planning on a minimum of 6 or 7 coaches and wagons; plus some pack horses. There will also be some hand carts. All that, with the main building (Inn and Hall) and a clock tower across the road from the Inn, it's going to be a bit tight.

Which clock tower are you planning on using? There are some pretty nice ones out there

Dave Graffam's Clock at Rakes Corner. I thought the style and coloring fit very nicely with your Inn and Hall. And that is also where I got one of the hand carts (it came with the tower).

Definitely fits. Dave's buildings are very nice. I went with Clock Tower #2 instead of this one. Similar geometry, but more choice on textures, and even has the cart
