Another one of my little projects.

Post by kieranhardy »

Quite a while ago i purchased a little ratio wagon, as i havent made a wagon before i kept putting it off as i didnt think i would be able to do it.
But today i received the plastic cement i was waiting for and got started:

The roof will be painted white when i get the correct paint. I have to say i am quite proud of this and it wasn't difficult at all!

Did you paint it yourself or does it come like that? Either way it looks very nice indeed, certainly looks at home on the layout 8)

My very best regards,

The wagon came like that, but the roof will be painted white and i may weather it slightly to hide some of the glue marks.

It did come with couplings but i didnt put these on as they wernt that great, the wagon is more for display really anyways but i expect it will get a couple of runs. :)

Sorry for slow reply, just asked the maker and he said he used gauge master green medium leaves and stuck them on with PVA glue. :)

Oh they're leaves...ok never mind. I suppose I could print out some ivy then cut it out and stick it on...

Took a couple of snaps of the wagon complete with "dirty" white roof, alongside my new addition to the layout, a very smart British Railways van.
