A question of Barrels

[11hamlin]

In an art piece Jairus has "aging barrels" on the back of a truck. I wondering is there a resin producer for those barrels. I am also curious about glass quart style jars like "shine would be in. As in moonshine liqour.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know of any resin sets, but you can find "shine" bottles in the Beverly Hillbillies truck kit and the Ford C600 Stakeside has several 55 gallon drums, the Ford also has some wooden crates. If you meant wooden barrels I can't think of any kits with those.

Try railroad sites or craft stores for ''G'' scale, not 1/25th , closer to to 1/22

The old Monogram Beer Wagon (Tom Daniels kit design) had some very well done wooden barrels in it, to be mounted in the bed.

I would look into the rail section at your local hobby shop or check on-line. I think someone mentioned "G" scale and I agree that items sold for detailing tracks are very close to 1/24th scale. So much so that most rail guys buy and build 1/24th scale cars and trucks for their tracks!!!

Barrels are a standard along with pick axes, Sledgehammers, anvils and a ton of other paraphernalia.

Everytime Gregg and I are in Denver, CO we stop at the "Whistle Stop" and load up on train details, K&S brass and a bunch of other cool items.

They're just resin! For heavens sake, I would buy one and make my own! Talk about fleecing the public... couldn't be more than fifty cents worth of resin there. Bet they add on 4.50 for shipping... what a scam!

Okay, here is a alternative... go to IHobby and watch the resin casting booth. Ask lots of questions and gather up the barrels they cast in front of you in the demonstration as they give them away anyway!

Sort of like the "eating out of restaurant dumpsters" philosophy!
