Very nice indeed!
I can see why you'd be tempted to try and adding something to replicate very work paint though, just to see if it's poossible - maybe you could try on just one? Can't think how you'd do it, very difficult to improve on the look you've got there. Did you use iron filing-type rusting powder?

If you wanted to add traces of old paint use a sponge and dab the paint on. If I were you I'd be adding some dirt on the insides of the wagons but leave the outside as they are.
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

They look absolutely fantastic!
They remind me of many of the tubs and minecars that we used to have around the collieries. Whilst some were painted others were certainly not. I don't believe that some of them had ever been painted, especially the ones knocked up locally in the fitting shops.
I hope I can come somewhere near the standard you have achieved once I start building my own stock. Thanks for the inspiration

"Smith! Why do you only come to work four days a week?
"'cause I can't manage on three gaffer!"

Thanks guys, might try a bit of colour on one, can always paint it over if it goes wrong.
The finish is just with paint, three colours of artist acrylics, mixed splodged and stippled on. Good fun and really not hard to do.
I have given some denting but the resin is quite thick and hard to distort.
Must find a suitable load of rocks perhaps to give a nice weight.
