A nice neat result. One of those was the first etched kit I ever built.

latest build, from an Isinglass kit. As I have a few more to do I thought I would have a practice first with this Dia 120 4 wheel BY Pigeon Brake Van:

Is it the lighting or is the teak very dark?

How have you done that - it's quite reminiscent of the mahogany colour of GC carriages.

No you are correct it is quite dark, mainly done with the weathering but of course Teak is a natural material and can be various shades.

The coaches look superb, but one can help but notice the bare metal A3.....thing of beauty, even unpainted. :mrgreen:
