Global Scale Modeller

Hi guys,

During my Coen Tiger build, I made a bucket from paper.
Peppie suggested I make one from a beer can. So I did.

And this is the result:











I found it to high, so I cut of a piece.





Acrylics:



Oil paint:











There you go.
It's in the bucket!

cheers

maybe i need to drink more beer......very nice bit of scratch building

Thanks!

And if you do, cheers!

cheers..

Very cool! What is your painting method for your buckets?They look spot on and I need to paint a few my self.

I start of with blue grey acrylics.
Than thin white oil paint and thin black and brown.
That's it.

cheers

very cool,thanks! I'll have to give it a try.

I always wondered where people got all those little buckets from!

Thanks for the pics; I'm gonna try to make one sometime!

Great, let me know how it works out.

Hey, I did not know you do builds on demand

Stunning result, if I may say so
Specially love the colors

Now I really have no more excuse and I've got to build one myself.

Fantastic as always Han, well done mate..
Quick question, what are you using to join the bucket side and to its bottom?? CA glue? Solder?
Only asking as a smooth shiny metal surface is a PITA to join and easily breaks if handled to much.
Your pictures don't show the joined side?
Thanks again buddy, the paint up is superb, so life-like!...
All the best...

How awesome is that!
Great resourcefulness and the painting and weathering is superb

I tried a solder version. that didn't really work out.
So I tried CA glue. That worked out fine. I did handle with care though.

Great guide, Han. I followed your formula and gave it a shot myself. Works a treat!

Wow! That's a kickass bucket you made there!
Glad my instructions were of assistance.

cheers
