Donkey cart

[David Holman]

As we know that one of our group was/is a postie, am now wondering who will admit to being the prototype for the model below?

 

The models are whitemetal, from PLM Castaways. No painting instructions, but the Web is endlessly helpful [Google images of donkey carts worked well]. Nowt on the harness either, but again, the web has plenty of advice on how to harness your donkey, should that be your thing... Used single strands of fine wire, stripped out from multicore for the reins, but they are VERY basic and my levels of patience are very selective! Still have to decide what load to add. Turf one possibility, though this is a coal mining area. An thoughts on final detailing most welcome.
