Long awaited progress train cabin

After a very busy week where i had to work 6 days and spend my day off raising money for charity with the help of rolife, but more about that later.

Today i started with getting the battery box and speaker in place. Put the lights in and the lamp schades in. After that i started on the front panel and sliding door. The gold stickers are really thin and hard to apply. I did my best but not totally satified. But taking them off will break them so i leave it as it is.

Hope to finish tomorrow. Mostly it is the outside and all the little stuff to put in place.

We have determined, in a few posts, that we are too difficult on ourselves! I think you have done a fantastic job. Everything I see looks beautiful! This is coming together and looks spectacular this far. Hopefully you get a few days off. I think you said you had to work Christmas though?

The gold edges of the door look very realistic. I was looking at it for a minute trying to figure out what it was made of.

Haha yes we are. Pictures dont always show the mistakes we see our selves. Thank you for your kind words. I have to work late shift on 2de christmas day and the night shift on new years eve. So i will not be able to be with my girls at midnight.

The gold is a sticker and the coloured parts are real leather.
