Mollusc Posted Thursday at 03:54 PM Share #1 Posted Thursday at 03:54 PM Hi, as a newbie I've made sure to use the search facility but without success. I'm building a 1/30 Billing Norden fishing boat and after looking around my local harbour, my model boat could do with some clutter. More specifically some buckets and sweeping brushes - they seem to be on every real boat. Does anyone have experience of making such items? Or getting them 3D printed? I can find lots of old style gun buckets online but no contemporary stuff. Many thanks mtaylor, Keith Black and Archi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted Friday at 12:32 AM Share #2 Posted Friday at 12:32 AM (edited) See @FriedClams (Gary) build. link below, page 13, post 387. Some clutter but not so much that it detracts from the model.

wefalck Posted 16 hours ago Share #3 Posted 16 hours ago At this scale buckets should be easy to make from thin paper or sheet-metal. They were either zinc-coated sheet-metal or emaille. Just look up photographs of the real thing and get inspired. The typical brushes as used on boats could be made in a similar way with thread as the pommels on childrens' knitted ski-caps - talk to a female family member, they probably will know, or have again a look on the Internet. This thing should be fitted to a wooden broom-handle then.
