And at least with 6 and 4..
You have ended up with a perfect ten!
:clap::clap::clap:
Could this be a fiendish plot as 10 only leaves David 2 more to build to his 12? No stop the sketch, it started out by being quite funny but it has now got very silly now.

Here are some photographs of the finished model having been painted, glazed and decals applied.

You what? After the build piccies this sounds like a Blue Peter 'here is one we made earlier', the masking up, painting and applcation of decals must have taken equally as long. :clap:

Yes, there was an awful lot of painting required, however, after spraying the body, inside and out, and the seat units, with an overall coat of grey plastic primer from a rattle can, everything else was painted freehand by brush so there was no masking up involved.

Updated views of Claptowte Railway Passenger Coach No4, a brake/third, modified with First Aid signs. The first aid signs were created by downloading a free sign from t'internet, shrinking it to a suitable size, duplicating it in numbers by cut and paste, then printing on white card.

The management of the Claptowte Railway have initiated a training scheme whereby certain key personnel, with the emphasis on train guards, have received the necessary training to be certificated first aiders. The outcome is that all guards on Claptowte Railway are now fully trained. To that end all guard's vehicles on the line, that is all goods brake vans, all passenger brake coaches and the Engineering Department converted brake coach, have all been equipped with first aid boxes.
