Oxford's Showmans Caravan looks extremely regal, decorated in a rich maroon and bright yellow colour scheme with white roof and cream doors. The gold and maroon contrasting lining out on the body is finely executed, the tow hook is painted black and yellow and the wheels are yellow with maroon mudguards. There is even a chimney on the roof too.
And - are those lace curtains printed on each of the windows! We are sure this must be the living quarters for someone important on the showground, so position it accordingly on your diorama!
