Hi there.
I was having some problems finding diorama parts that are cheap and that could be esnt outside USA. I liked the idea of the fuel barrelsfor dioramas, and while on a barbecue, I had this idea while seeing the bottle caps. Using 3 plastic soda bottle caps, and hot glue, I made a small cheap barrel. I fill the borders of the inside with hot glue from a hot glue gun, and place over another bottle cap. The results are better when you mix colors, as I did, black-white-black and I got nice results with red-white-red, green-white-green and blue-green-green. I removed the factory instructions with Windex, and I think that nail polish remover works. If you want, just add some cobra symbols or gi joe on the white parts of the barrel. Sorry if pics arent excelent, I am learning how to take pics, and sorry for any mistakes on text, I am not a born english speaker. Thanks rafaelwow
