Some more progress on detailing up the MGWR van. This time I have drilled holes and inserted fine wire to represent the bolts.

These vans had different door securing arrangements to the GNR vans. 
The door frame was reinforced too, owing to the lack of roof above it. I’ve elected to leave the middle bit of roof in place on the model but will cover it with a sheet tied down to the new roping eyes on the uprights.

Thanks!

Here is the sheet, made from a Tunnock’s wrapper, some fine wire and some fine thread.

Once painting is more advanced I will fit it in place, you can imagine what it will look like with the ropes pulled tight and glued around the roping eyes:

The Tunnocks wrappers are thin foil on one side and thin paper on the other.
