Building the Old West
Coach and Cacti Update
Yellow is a tricky color to work with so trying to do touch ups where I was trying to paint over the Rough Iron paint that had gotten where I didn’t want it was going to be a challenge. A trick I learned is to paint the offending bit pink, then painting the yellow over the pink.
![I then covered the pink with Demonic Yellow. It generally took only one or two coats to cover the pink, which is far easier than trying to cover the Rough Iron color. You can also see here the coach has had its top rails, rear luggage and coachman’s area installed.](https://images.beastsofwar.com/2023/11/94022368-IMG_2800-636.jpeg)
I painted the rear luggage area Army Painter Leather Brown and the attached it and the roof rails. The rough rails and door handles were painted Rough Iron.
I had to cut down the floorboards for the coachman’s area in order to get it to fit then glued it in place.
Other than a few touch ups, I think the stagecoach is done. I may add a team of horses later.
