wagon transporting wine barrels

Finally, the mules arrived to be hitched to the wagon for transporting the wine barrels, but they still had to be glued together, as they came in 5 parts, then puttying, sanding and a layer of primer to level the joints. The harnesses are under construction, but only after the mules are painted with the final paint the harness and harness will be finished, which will still take some time. Some photos of this work in progress, I hope you enjoy seeing them.

MY FIRST INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION IS 20 YEARS AGO TODAY.

For this event, I had the pleasure of being invited to participate with two of my miniature coaches, as this was also my first exhibition, 20 years ago today.
