Awesome coach, the ground-breaking activity continues. As above, keep the updates coming, no matter if they are small steps. inevitably the level of detail you are going to takes time.

Are you referring to the Harrington or are you referring to the Shed build

OK posts with minute detail were requested, so here goes. As it's pretty miserable outside I had a bit of time today to work on the Harrington, so first job is to create a step so Charlie Croker can talk to Big William .
Chassis before
Step created
Painting some gold bars
Big William and the Gang (thanks to my brother for painting these up and giving them helmets and visors)

Lovelllllllly details Simon!
My home-made gold (!) not as nice as yours (although more shiny) but I did have the benefit of some Corgi gold plus henchmen.
These are my Airfix/MRRC Minis. Steve de Havilland provided the trans-kits to Italianate them including the passengers with the mesh face-guards (when you see the Corgi figures you can work out how he produced the passenger heads)

A bit of a rainy Bank Holiday Monday so thought I'd take the opportunity to do a bit more work on the Harrington. Big William is now in command with Charlie riding shotgun. The gold's in place and just need to find some suitable HO figures for Charlie's gang to celebrate around the gold.
The paintwork on the coach body is coming on. The 3d printing is a bit granular so never going to get an amazing finish. Skylights cut out. God knows how I'm going to get the Crokers Coach Tours script on the side.
Rear doors on next then need to get all the glass and side blinds made.
