HO scale 55g drum with open bottom

thingiverse

I modeled this 55g drum from a drawing in a sales catalog for 55g drums. I scaled it and then modified the scaled model so that it would print nicely. I also opened the bottom so that it would use less resin plus it can be flipped over to be used as an open barrel.After I printed them I gave them a coat of gray primer (enamel spray paint can) and after that I used some flat latex craft paint to give them two tone colors. Then I used a small piece of a grout sponge to apply some dark red and brown paint to simulate rust. The goal was to create a gravel area with a bunch of old drums stacked up and lying around.
