Thanks for the comments Jonte and Chris. It's nice to breathe new life into an old wagon.
Last year sometime, I bought a bundle of second hand Parkside wagons on ebay. Included in the bundle was a Parkside Rudd. Now I have zero use for such a wagon, as it's outside of my chosen period, but I fancied giving it a go regardless. Masking is going to be "fun".
A while ago I tweaked a Parkside VEA by replacing the moulded door handles, which made a big difference. I've got a batch of 3 others, all previously built and painted and I've started working on these too. The main task again will be to replace the handles with 0.33 wire. As they're already built, painted and decalled, to save time I'm aiming preserve the finish as much as possible and just patch paint/weather them. I actually really enjoy reworking wagons I've built previously and bringing them up to my current standards.
