Is that what was known as a "Jerry can", that were made illegal due to their leakiness being a major fire hazard?

Lovely models, by the way. :)

Oh duh, Jerry/German - didn't even occur to me. And it seems they're not illegal, although I'm sure I read they were in a reply to an Honest John reader's letter in the Telegraph's motoring mag years ago. Oh well, coat taken. :D

The British petrol cans were known as flimsy's for very good reason. I think they were 4 gallon capacity. Any opportunity to capture Jerry cans wasn't missed, a leaking fuel can is no use at all.

The Long Range Desert Group were very quick to supply themselves with the superior German Cans.

There is supposed to be lettering stamped on the top and on the screw cap, but that's a step too far for me. (For now.) And in any case, you can barely even see the can in game, let alone read the cap. The can is 14 inches high, 8 inches wide and 11 inches deep.

It's really surprising how hard it is to make a basic object look right, let alone a building. I got the basic shape down last night in about 30 mins (as well as a 4 Gal version) bu the detail has absorbed a few hours today.


I would look to do the letter stamping on the texture.

Perhaps Brian doesn't need to worry about the level of detail for the waiting room if it's buried in plants, like Sleeping Beauty's castle! :-)
