This Arist-craft gondola came with a shotgun coat of red oxide inside and out with the white decals. It looked as boring as a bowl of oatmeal. I first painted the inside flat black to give it some contrast, then I worked some burnt umber acrylic paint into the seams of the wood planks. It looks a little more realistic now.[:)]

Jon

Nice looking car, but what about that "lost cargo" in the background. Or, are you trying to build the worlds tallest snail trap?
