Make Mine a Mucky One

Hot of the heels of the Hornby Class 37, the Slaters Open Wagon is also completed!
Weathering was completed using a black wash and weathering powders. This was sealed with Matt varnish, which annoyingly dried with a gloss sheen!
Further testing with the cans of matt varnish I had in stock gave the same result, so a new can was ordered. This 'saved the day' by brining the finish back to matt! 
A load was added to this example, hiding a weight underneath, and secured with watered down PVA glue. With 3 link couplings added and the wheels popped back in, it's ready to be added yo the operational fleet.
Till next time.
