1:12 scale dumpster

I made this dumpster for the back alley of my flower shop. I modeled it after the one outside the bar where I worked.  Except for the name/phone number it looks exactly like it, rusty, sloppy welds, same color.  I made it from metal. The lid opens/closes and the wheels, made from polymer clay, turn and swivel. It was so fun to make, and then I had to fill it with trash! Don't know which was more fun, making it or filling it. I also made the folding step ladder. It is functional, made from wood, modeled after the one in my basement.

  3. Hi Catherine! Thank you! Yes I mentioned the ladder, I made it too. It folds and the little wood paint can shelf (what are those things called!!!???) goes up and down. It is exactly like the one I have in my basement.
