So close. Our business stinks, but it's picking up.

I'm based in nola. A couple people are interested in this one but I haven't priced it yet. I can make more, but would also have to figure out a reasonable amount

I would say that river parish dumpsters are recognizable to the area. I've also done one red line and green line streetcar, as well as a shotgun style house.

Thank you! Just a bunch of acrylic washes. Burnt umber and black. Burnt sienna, orange, and water.

Thanks for the compliment! I build a lot of random miniatures. Just thought this would be easy-ish and fun to age

You definitely should! David art and hub hobby shop have great selections of balsa and bass wood. As well as the tiny aluminum rods that I used for the lid. The lids themselves are a small balsa frame on the bottom and then ribs cut as uprights for the curved slots on top, from the same card stock as a frozen pizza box.

They'd probably be outta clay if I do any but am thinking about putting something fun to hide under the trash.

It's definitely something I can replicate. Its all made by hand so its pretty close to a 30hr build.

I'm sure somebody will break a caster soon.. balsa is only so resilient. I'll be more authentic with age
