1848 Stage Coach Wood Model Kit by Latina (Trunk Compartment)

As with the Cockpit the Trunk compartment needed to be completely modular so every step in developing the parts was designed with that in mind.
I again made an aesthetic decision and designed the leather parts to show off (a little) the structure.
An alternative more like the real thing would not require any structure and could be just a box with leather coverings.

Without the Bonnet

Pattern for the Bonnet. I waited until the end to make this pattern because there were too many variables and it is pretty easy to do insitu.

Stand alone Trunk module. Patterns for the side panels were made and included the straps locations.

Pattern for the Trunk floor.
