Building Tralee & Dingle Coach 13 - Part 4

8/4/2012

0 Comments

 
With the underframe detail complete, I then added a strip wood rail to the top inside of the coach body to add strength and provide something to glue the roof to. I also glued in a pre prepared additional roof support midway along the coach. The bogies were then hand painted with primer. Once the strip wood was treated with sanding sealer the coach body was sparyed inside and out with red oxide primer after first masking the floor with paper held in place with blu tack (the floor will be stained with oak wood stain). I left this for 24 hours and in the meantime I applied the top coat to the bogies, Humbrol 33 matt black enamel.

When the primer had hardened fully I masked out the windows with paper and covered the roof void with masking tape and then sprayed the body with Halfords Rover Damask Red as the top coat. I gave the body a good 4 or 5 coats of paint allowing it to dry between coats.
