Finally finished after painting the interior. I think it should be a bit more distressed after a lifetime of hardwork.

Hi Michael , what brand and name of brown is interior on your wagon , its very effective.
Cheers Paul

Paul, I used Tamiya Bluff XF-57. I gave it a couple of thin coats before just brushing some weathering powders in after the paint had a couple of days to dry. The rusty ironwork was just the original grey paint brushed over with these rusty weathering gels fron Eileen's Emporium.

Excellent stuff John, I pleased to see that you stuck with the scratch building and all for the cost of a plastic sheet eh !

Keep it up it gets more addictive.
