Oil drum litter bins - CMOTD - 13th-Jun-19

One of the most common items to be seen at a real race circuit are oil drum litter bins but they are not often found on slot car layouts so the little people have nowhere to put their rubbish.
                                                                     [attachment=2170]
They are very easy and cheap to make so here is how to do it using 15mm pre-soldered copper pipe connectors like this which are readily available from Screwfix etc.
                                                                          [attachment=2171]
Paint in the usual way - wash in soapy water, white primer and topcoat of choice. Cut up a black bin liner, stick it inside, add relevant signage and you end up with something like this:
                                                                         [attachment=2172]
If you want to go to extremes then you can paint Coke stains down the outside and fill it with half eaten 1/32 cheeseburgers of course!

Rats, I don't have any pre-soldered ones! Straight up and down mine are.

Good idea though.
