I appreciate that you left in the part where you glued yourself to the can. That’s absolutely what will happen to me and now I can expect that. Also, when the tiny handles kept flying out of your grasp- 😂 so relatable 😅.
"I could try and get in with my scissors but that's a bit tricky, so i'm just going to cut it with a fairly blunt scalpel" - Things You Don't Want To Hear Your Doctor Say
Really nice pieces and the weathering makes them look a nice toned down galvanised metal. A useful material I have used is the foiling around chocolate coins. Mum used to buy them for me and my sister when we were kids at christmas and its become a family tradition. Still getting them now and i'm 42! They are gold on one side and silvery on the other and i have used as heat shielding on vehicles and piping.
small suggestion for the lids - next time you could just try putting the piece of foil over the coin, then press on it with something (same idea as the ribbed texture you made on the sides). the metal should stretch over the shape so you wont get those wrinkles then you can just cut out the shape
Hey Dave's Model Workshop! Awesome video, the trash cans are excellent. I do have a tip on that lid though. If you remove a small triangle of material from the outer ring of material you'll get better results with the lip. You'll have a small seam, but it won't buckle out like that.
Great tutorial. For added realism you can: Paint an address on the side of the can Lose one of the handles but leave the holder in place Crush the handle for the cover so it is flat to the cover I grew up with these abominations😁
I have no words to say THANK YOU for this tutorial!!! A lot of people doesn't show the secrets.... and you show everything.... and i did a good job... not perfect like yours but... a great job! THANK YOUUUUU!!!!
Great video, how about using baking soda to speed up and strengthen the seam? Super glue and baking soda is how aircraft mechanics fix chipped up prop blades, fast bond, and bullet proof.
You are top and bottom bins that you did to make it rigid at the very beginning if you did them opposite to each other on the ends you could thins latch it together the same way that they do with metal trash cans
Pretty smart using the bottle topper to make the can grooves. To get the puckers out of your lid you might try cutting your circle quite a bit larger, glue the coin to something flat then use a popsicle stick as a mandrel. The extra material will keep the edges from puckering and when you cut off the excess gives you a bit of material to roll an edge on the lid like you did the can base.
the rod taped down to create a reinforcement groove is exactly what i needed for my oil barrels :) thanks, i wanted to make a "crushable" oil barrel in 1/16 scale for a convincing "tank driving through a street" movie shot on a scale model. those sheets of foil should work just fine :)
This is very very cool.... been building dios for 10 years or more... just goes to show you can learn something new ... thank you very much for this video
I just deleted my comment on the fact that these "dustbins" are obsolete, then of course I thought they're perfect for WWII, post-war, 1950, 60s and 70's dioramas. The bins are excellent too mate well done well creative. Keep up the great modelling skills! 🔆💯✨
Thanks, The Geezer. Yeah, definitely old-school. Apparently the plastic bags weren't invented until around 1950, so I'd day these are good for 1950-1990 or so...
You did a great job without being boring. I thought perhaps you could use some parchment paper with a little cement and fill the trash can halfway with the cement or even mortar you can get that already mixed. That way your can will hold its shape and also give it some weight.
Thanks for a great video. I may give this a try in 1/12 scale. Here's a tip for when you're gluing. Get some ca glue accelerator. It will make the glue set immediately. I see lots of model makers and prop builders use it with ca glue.

Such a joy to watch...so enjoyed watching your processes. I was tickled to see how you turn everyday materials into a perfect miniature! So glad i found your channel. Thanks for making these videos.
Awesome..... its my first attempt at doing any dioramas, got to say, you make it look easy!! Haha, saw this video a few weeks ago and wanted to try this first...... first attempt is in the bin, not a bin, but will keep trying. 1st timer, first disaster. Keep up the great work. Im not giving up......yet😊
These are the cutest things ever! Thanks for making this video. It probably won't happen this year, but I'm going to try making these for my Dept 56 Dickens Christmas village. I've bought several character and vehicle accessories but I can't see paying the high prices for little accessories like the trash cans, trees, cobblestone streets, etc. I'm a maker, so this is right up my alley. I also have a tip for the lids I think I'll try. You can leave a little more of the tin around the circle, cut it in small snips all the way around to get a pretty smooth fold. Then, add a narrow strip of the tin to cover all the snips. That does leave a seam at the top of the strip but I don't think that will look bad as long as it doesn't go all the way to the top of the lid. I'd also like to try to fold a tiny ridge at the bottom of the lid for a finished edge like real trash can lids, so I'll have a little experimenting to do. You certainly demonstrated a lot of great techniques to try. Saving this video for reference.
Great video Dave! I think it’s cool that you are scratch building dioramas of your neighborhood. I see something and think that would be neat to make. My current challenge is building an old sputter oil drilling rig. Keep the videos coming 😀
What a cool idea. I love the way they turned out. I think a little more overlap on the seam would fix the lid issue. Maybe hold back on the end scoring on one side? Might try it myself. Thanks for the vid.
Well dang, that worked out nice. Never would have thought about using the metal pan, but I can see other possibilities too. Must admit though I kept waiting for you to work in another part from a wine bottle.
Just stumbled across your video.. Pretty cool.. I would probably just glue the trash can around the lid to start with. Then you wouldn't have to worry about trying to hold it together with tape, or gluing it together when you're finished. I work in 1/6 & 1/64 scales. I'm looking forward to trying this.. Thanks for your post b
Many many years ago I made a solar hotdog cooker using tinfoil and black plastic garbage bags. Part of the process involved cutting the bags into strips and "stretching" them to make them thinner and "tighter". What was so interesting was that the garbage bag plastic has a sort of "stretch limit". You can pull it or carefully stretch the plastic and you will feel it reach a stopping point, a sort of end to the stretch. It won't stretch any more without breaking. This will make the plastic nearly half as thick but still be completely black and opaque like the original bag. I think this might match the scale of the plastic bags for this trash can model better. This effect works with any of those types of plastics, even those small white shopping bags from grocery stores have this "stretch limit". Once stretched they get very very thin but maintain the look and feel of the original plastic.
when you fold over the two short ends at the start, could you fold them opposite ways so that they hook together when it's time to form a tube? Just thinking aloud, will give this a try at some point. Good video, thanks
For your ribbing while flat ,a row of thin wire taped down , then use your tooth pick to make the ribs. Pegs are great clamps. Loved your video thank you
What a great technique. Thank you for sharing it. The only weakness I can see it the bin lid. Everything else has rounded edges. I wonder if anyone has tried cutting the foil longer and trying to wrap it under the coin? It makes sense in my head, but thinking and doing are different things. I'll be sure to try it and let you know if it works. Cheers!
Some useful diorama info for modellers - If you're doing something historical, plastic trash bags for household use weren't really a thing until about 1970. Pre-1970, paper bags where used or the trash was just thrown in the can without a bag.
Thank you Colonel. Yes, you're spot on. The plastic bags would not work for a WW2 diorama, for example. (I need to brush up on my domestic refuse history!) ;) Dave
@@DavesModelWorkshop, By luck I have a empty bottle of Tamaya Extra Thin Cement with that perfect ridge pattern that you use in this video. Also I still have about half the roll of aluminum craft foil that I got for corrugated roofing. I used a thoothpaste tube squeezer to make the corrugation pattern. True Value coffee cans used to have a aluminum foil seal under the lid. I saved dozens of those for craft use too. About three years ago they chnged from alum-foil to a mylar seal. St. Louis Crafts 36 Gauge Aluminum Metal Foil Roll, 12 Inches x 10 Feet is available from Amazon for $10.59.

Very nice tutorial. Two thoughts: First; if you sandwich your lid between two coins and clamp it, it makes the edge work a lot easier to do. 2nd; though you covered the lid not being big enough, it would work well fitted inside the can for a bottom. As a final thought: when I was a youngster the lids were often chained to the cans so you could do that and let it hang to disguise that it doesn't really fit. I really appreciate this tutorial and the effort you put into it! Thanks!
Hi Thorn, thanks for the suggestions. Good call on the two coins idea. And yes, a teenytiny chain would be a lovely additional piece of detail. Thank you!
@@DavesModelWorkshop My pleasure. Incidentally; how are things going in your neck of the woods? Frankly it's still shit here in Germany, but at least we don't hear about too much brutality. Really nice channel, thanks again!

Hi enjoying yr videos as I am a new build on the scene. Some great tips. That bin handle was a slippery little bugga. But job well done I think. Cheerz Denise W.A.
For 1/35 try using a tapered cap from a tooth paste tube or even from about any "tubed" products. The ridges are molded on the cap with a more realistic taper found in most galvanized trash cans
I started watching the video and I was always a step ahead of you as if I was the one doing the trash can dude! 💪 this is amazing and I enjoyed the video 100% Great job dude! I was gonna follow you from the beginning but I had to wait till the end! 💪💪💪 This is Awesome and very inspiring!
Patrick UK. 1st time viewer GREATLY IMPRESSED.my only comment is if you doing a WW2 diorama I Don't think black plastic were pretty rare if at all. How about a cat or dog hanging around the bins .household rubbish or trash you call it. bottles trash etc. are plentyful in 1/35 scale or make your own,(even fiddller) but good fun. keep up the good work I'm hooked.
After you are done smacking the bottle cap tapers out with your pliers, roll the lid on your cutting board there. That should smooth it out more. And for the trash bag, use the colored paper ties from a loaf of bread. You can cut it down in sizes as well. I would use a red one. Just a suggestion for you.
Love it... you are talented. I'm trying to make an old galvanised rainwater tank, and I quite like the idea of using aluminium BBQ trays, I really appreciate the idea ;)
To make the lid better try laying the foil down on the bench lay the coin or whatever you are using to form the edge on top of the foil then use your knife to work around the edge to lift it up then get another coin or washer and run it around the edge as a horizontal roller to smooth the edge.
I appreciate that you left in the part where you glued yourself to the can. That’s absolutely what will happen to me and now I can expect that. Also, when the tiny handles kept flying out of your grasp- 😂 so relatable 😅.

Thank you :)
Love it... you are talented. I'm trying to make an old galvanised rainwater tank, and I quite like the idea of using aluminium BBQ trays, I really appreciate the idea ;)
Thank you! I hope it works out for you - a rainwater tank is really just a scaled up trash can I guess!
Ahahahaha the struggle is real!! Trying to make these tiny pieces behave is maddening!!

Welcome aboard!
Awesome!!! I need to do this in 1:64 scale for hot wheel garage dios
Cool! It will be tiny, but it should work if you have good eyesight and a steady hand ;)
Loved watching this - and what a great result!
Brilliant!
To make the lid better try laying the foil down on the bench lay the coin or whatever you are using to form the edge on top of the foil then use your knife to work around the edge to lift it up then get another coin or washer and run it around the edge as a horizontal roller to smooth the edge.
Solid advice, that's a much smarter way to do it. Thanks Brian.
Great video Dave as always I learn some thing new from your turiols. THANKS Kerry
Cheers Kerry, always nice to hear from you. All the best, Dave
Great idea! Now I'll see if I can do it in 1/48 scale! 🤔 If it works.i will try to duplicate it in resin,
