MALAPOSTA 5

Once the doors have been finished and the lanterns painted, it is time to test and refine these pieces in the respective places where the carriage is to be fixed, since they are separate components of the body, they will be stored to fix at the end of the construction.
Many people will tell what the trunk has to do with the lanterns, and now the trunks were an integral part of these carriages, where the travel arrangements were transported as ropes to tie up the luggage, waxed for when it rained, and other materials and tools inherent in the long travel, in this particular case, of my model, it plays another function, it is it that turns on and off the lamps as you can see in the images, some more photos of this progress, I hope you enjoy the construction.
