Hi,
Just acquired this 28mm C18th coach. Anyone know who makes it and how it all fits together?

I would say it was from the Highwayman range from Outpost Wargames. Can't remember if it was ever officially released or not, or which company (if any) would have it now.Count Belisarius wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 11:17 pm

I think it's this one. Hopefully they have a guide somewhere...

Re: What's on your workbench?
The always "helpful" photo of the completed model.....
It looks like the support-struts-and-springs bits have been twisted and bent, mate. So you'll need to do some very careful bending and twisting to make them match each other and to fit the coach body and axles. From the other photo on that link page you can get a better idea of what goes where. I don't have the software to do a set of instructions for you, but the attached may give you an idea. The "1" shows the back springs, the "2" the front of the strut and the "3" where the notch in the support marries up to the rear axle- at a guess where the axle brackets are.

If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

Re: What's on your workbench?
Ta for that. Helpful.
It feels like it might need some support in places as a heavy hand might push it out of shape...

Re: What's on your workbench?
Good point. I had the same issue with the Perry "supply wagon" and innate clumsiness. A couple of tufts underneath the body, to hide brass tube supports, perhaps?
