I've been amusing myself working up some details and I found a bit of a resin casting of scrap metal, I think it was intended as a wagon load. It needed a makeover so I set to work. The casting, by an unknown British maker stank to high Heaven of paraffin/kerosene when I trimmed it but a spray of Dullcote cured that. Being thin it broke in half and I glued the pieces side by side which made a more pleasing shape. I'd trimmed the bottom edges randomly to facilitate installation without irritating straight lines. Much junk from my scrap box, including a cut down and sanded thin, plastic window frame complete with microscope slide glass broken glass was added. The only item I made was the wood crate made from Evergreen strip.

| I thinned down the bottom of the scrap pile casting with a razor saw and then trimmed away the straight edges with a cutter in my Dremel. I'd painted the casting some time ago. I added bits from plastic kits including the Airfix JCB digger buckets much distressed. |
