Very nice. The mail coach is designed at 30mm for gamers. 30mm from floor to eye level on average human doesn't seem much like a scale to me, but that's what they use. I just made my door the same size as a Concord Stage door that was in scale, and went from there. My guess is that its around 1/50

How do you get such nice curves in styrene?

Ribs and filler.
And a lot of sanding.

That's a sharp eye you have there. It's my company logo with my initials.

Hehe.
I am here for the reference. My actual scratchbuilding began back in the 80's by making paper templates for things i wanted to build. But then moved on to the things i have shown on SSM over the years.
I do see paper modelling as a higher art, but i will always build in styrene.
