It was meant to be pearlescent black

Jonny, you are making my dreaming garage in diorama. You are incredible
What time are you using to do so nice micro Tools?

I had a go at making some 1:10 scale brewskis a while back, just for the craic, but recently I felt I could have done better, so it was time to take another shot ...

Old skool Labatt's box:




& stubbies:






New can blanks hacksawed from 8mm aluminium round bar:





One end faced:




... and the other:





Slight taper applied to one end:




& a teeny bit of detail on the underside:




Top end crimp faked:



...

Top end recessed a bit:




"Brushed" with well-used 400 grit paper & ultrasonically cleaned:




Transfers printed, sealed & applied:






Obviously I need something to put them in ... a 'fridge is a good step up from a carboard box ...


Basic size/shape:




Started on the door, filler slapped on:




Joints sanded back:




Working on door hinges; a plinth is needed to get some height off the floor:





"Prototyping" the cooler coils ... freehand wasn't neat enough, so I'll make a little pin block to get the traverses a more equal length ...

I love the beer but I prefer the Jack Daniel's or another whisky. Can you make me a stock?

No idea. Most of the build time is waiting for glue and paint to dry

Your are an artist. I love bud light and coors beers too if you have a box of can for me

PS: I would like to buy to you a falcon decals set to end my restoration on my TBG body

Man, as a former modeller i admire your imigination, to be a good one you have to think outside the box, i guess you never was in one to begin with.
As a former judge in masterclass modellingcontests it's hard to believe you don't have any serious scale modelling history, once again, very impressive.

Jonny I would like to make some accessories for my Rcs and I would like to know what materials you use to make your accessories.
