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 😅.
Heh heh, I like to give people realistic expectations! ;)

I've just started miniatures and dioramas, and this video was so helpful! Thank you!
Glad you liked it :)
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.
Thank you Lucy. I hope you find a lot to enjoy. Cheers, Dave
Very nice
After tapping down the edge the lid, try rolling it on the work surface to smooth the crimps as best as possible. It may work. Great vid.
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.
Creative and awesome!
Thanks Phil!
I just came across your channel and love your videos. Very information and helpful. Thanks!!
Thanks Kevin! Welcome aboard :)
That's awesome, I'm not quite sure i have the patience for it but I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing!
It is fiddly, I won't deny, but the end result is worth it, I promise!
Well done scratch build always the best good luck love the video and the information londob
Thank you!
Well done
Thank you :)
Amazing
The trash can looks good . I was surprised that it didn’t have a bottom . Really a awesome job !
no need for un seen detal
Exactly what I need for my diorama , imm try this tomorrow already making woodcrates
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 😀
Wow, that sounds fantastic. I love oil rigs - all those spars and walkways, so intricate!
Brilliant! Thank you kindly, sir :)
Cheers tammy!
New subscriber here mate. First video I watched of yours and what an incredible outcome!!! Really enjoyed the video!
Nice work. Very creative👍
Thanks Fernando!
Might never really have a need for one or two, but the technique and materials could be used else were. GREAT video Dave.
Thanks very much, as always my friend.
Thanks for the tips! 😊
My pleasure!
Watched more than enough TH-cam video's,but got to say,this is the most impressive little things I've ever watched,well done buddy.amazing.
Thanks Haven! :)
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.
Ah, very clever! That's a great suggestion - thanks Andrew!
Nice 👍. Used drinks cans also work quite well.
Ahh, clever! Although it might be tough to imprint those ridges on a drink can's tougher aluminium?
Excellent!!
Cheers :)
Thank you so very much indeed for this 📹 video! 🎁🎀🙏
Beautiful
Cheers Eric!
A comb would be rather useful for making those ridges rather than a round object perhaps?
Great instruction as usual!!!
Brilliant stuff. well done :)
Thanks Darren :)
Wish I'd bin the first to do this!!! TFS, GB :)
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😊
Thanks Andy! Let me know how you get on with version 2 :)
That came out incredible excellent tip thank you I think I'll try one tonight
Thanks! Let me know how you go!
@@DavesModelWorkshop they came out great thanks to you really appreciate the great tips keep it up man have a great day
Cool tutorial Dave very good be cool for me when doing the garage and tool kits diarama 👍 Keith
Great video, learn something and will try to duplicate. Great how to👍
Cheers! Dave
Cool. I'm going to make one for my wife's knick knack box. Thank's!
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!
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!!!!
Cool! I'm so glad it worked out for you Roscoa :) Dave
@@DavesModelWorkshop For real... THANK YOU!!!! 🤗
Ahahahaha the struggle is real!! Trying to make these tiny pieces behave is maddening!!
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.
Heh heh, I was planning to, but I'm after something a little tougher after all my bottle foil and thin corrugated iron metal :)
Hi I just love it
This is great ☺️
Thanks mate :)
Very nice! you've given me some ideas on how to make something a bit more "industrial" to produce them! :) I'll share with you the idea once i have time to build it ;)
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
You got a new subscriber
Welcome aboard!
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
Very nice. 😍.
RC SCRAP GARAGE thanks!
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,
kewl man
Thank you!
Nice to see that even a seasoned builder can be a butterfinger :) Very useful stuff indeed.
Oh Pelle, I am constantly butter fingers! All the time!
@@DavesModelWorkshop Cheers to that.
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.
Thank you Jana, and that is actually a brilliant idea for finishing the rims of the lids - I've never thought of that before. Inspired! Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
I NEED TO WATCH!!!
Role the coin on a hard surface
Hope you like it!
like from Brazil :)
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
Thanks Joseph, these would look very cool in 1/6 scale! i hope it works well for you. Cheers, Dave
As mini-latas de lixo, ficaram muito fofas e lindas! 😍
Thank you! :)
Awsome
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.
Hi Donald, definitely a bit more overlap would make life easier there, agreed. Let me know how you go! Cheers, Dave
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 :)
Excellent! Glad to hear it was useful. Sounds like it will work perfectly.
