fish truck

This is Lochgorm’s Highland Railway Fish Truck kit with some additional details added by myself. It’s part sprayed and part hand painted with a good deal of dry-brush work and a final light weathering added with the airbrush. The wagon body was sprayed with Phoenix’s HR Dark Green P727; transfers are waterslide from the HRSoc. I had great difficulty in hiding the edge of the transfer backing varnish, which still shows a bit of an edge at certain angles. I’m not at all sure that the wording "Fish Traffic" is in the right place, I’d no information at all to go on, so as it didn’t seem to fit anywhere else I put it where you see it. The wagon interior is painted as bare wood and so is the floor which I represented by covering the brass floor provided with the kit with plastic planking then scribing it to give it a wooden texture that would dry-brush nicely. I could do with some fish barrels to give some interest to the interior of the vehicle now. I’ve heard that these were covered with turf, but covered in what way I wonder, was it all over the lot of them or was it only a circle of turf on top of each barrel? I just don’t know at the moment, and I need to know before I can model the barrels at all.
