I'm sure we've all got models lurking half finished in boxes, and it's always good to get them finished. Both of these Maunsell coaches were started in 2000 and are now finished.

The Roxey Nondescript brake was in my blog unpainted a year ago. It got half painted, then stripped down and repainted as I wasn't happy with the finish.

The First has been lurking in a painted but unglazed state for years, as it was a very early effort where I didn't pay much attention to how to fit the glazing. It ended up having each window glazed separately - not fun! It's a detailed Kirk kit with Bill Bedford sides. In 2000 this was the only way to make a decent model of one of these coaches - since then a kit and RTR versions have appeared :icon_frustrated:

I also managed to finish the 3H/Parkside hybrid LNER open, and the Airfix Meat van (an ex-meat van actually, as it represent as vehicle in Bauxite no longer used for meat traffic).
