While you certainly don't need to detail the interior of all of them, we've all seen a car or two roll by with the door open. And you know you can't help but peek inside. Why would a model be any different?
Learn the easy steps to finishing the inside of a boxcar, and you'll have a conversation piece in about an hour's work - even if the car is empty.
