Trying to get more lil' details into my wasteland so I'm trying my hand at a few items. What I'm after is honest feedback, is the item on track or should it be changed in anyway.

So first up, a camp kettle:

Scale, shape etc? Do I keep this plan/pattern for the kettle or go back to the drawing board?

Mighty fine! Maybe the lids handle,on top could be a tad straighter? Very close to perfect though.Easily identifiable.Cool conversion too :pipboy:

Thanks for the comments guys :)

I think I can flatten it down a bit Inky, it's just a cardboard strip (I tried wire but I couldn't get the right shape) and it opened/frayed a bit as I folded it. A bit of superglue and some pressure should get it fixed up.

Dont screw it up it looks great! Man I cant tell ya how many times I went from allmost perfect to why why oh why did I do that! It gives it that PA ,used, camp worn look. Like my last girl friend :lol: Its that virgo quest for perfection that gets me in trouble.

I agree with Inkwell, it should look kind of beat up.

I don't think it'll end up too dinged up, but it's not "as new" :D

"The lids handle..." I'm an idiot, I was thinking the whole time the side handle (which didn't 'fix up' the way I'd said)... fixed.

Sweet, I've not long finished painting it (I'll pop the pics up in the finished terrain thread as it's inside a re-finished building), around the top, under the lid, it's pretty ratty. I think I need to refine the building process...
