The scale on this kit is 1/32nd with the K&C porters at 1/30th. scale didn't seem visually off and with weight of the pewter chair and passenger actually gave some support against an eventual case of metal fatigue. next came the painting..............first the lady, then the modification and...

Construction has very simple, but took some thought on how to incorporate the passenger, a lady of quality, and yet still be in position to paint the piece. after many trial dry fits, I then painted the lady, but not before figuring out how the new porters were going to manage the carrying...

What follows are multiple threads of the construction and modifications to a 50 year old pewter kit of a sedan chair, passenger and porters from Phoenix Model Developments. I have had this kit in my gray army for many many years. What kept me from building it were the absolutely worst figures...

Absolutely stunning

CASABLANCA……………..MY DREAM COME TRUE

Not a particular livery. Plan was for something easy to duplicate on the K&C figures, yet had kind of a Mameluke look to it

For some reason would not let me add text to above. The kit was the sedan chair and came with horrible castings for the porters. I therefore replaced them with these K&C jewels and thought the presentation came out fine. Plan is to put a step by step on this build and conversion in the...

I love your rendition of Ricks in Casablanca. I have been staging my own mini vignette using a 50 year old piano player from phoenix model developments and some recent K&C figures. Looks like I will need to make a major major conversion of Andreas Bond, unless Andy can come up with a Rick...

These are great vignettes

Re: Mfca 2024-Gold medal award Pleased to have been awarded Gold medal for my display of phoenix model developments 50 year old Bygone Age carriages and carts, complimented with K&C and Britains figures. Look in Modelling and Kit building thread of this forum for detailed step by step build...

Fine work. I enjoy following your progress and look forward to your final product. I am currently working on a bust of Churchill ,representative of his participation in the charge

Of the carts in the photos above, all except the brown one are from the Bygone Age series. Not sure who made the brown chestnut cart. The Phoenix Chestnut car is the black one, and even through 1/24th scale actually doesn't look out of place with 1/30 figures, as in my photo below.... I am...
