Anyone building columns needs containers by the dozen. 1:72 model jerrycans and fuel drums are packaged accordingly: sixteen cans in one pack, eight 200-litre barrels, mixed sets of three drum types, or modern plastic cans of 20 to 30 litres ten at a time. Spread the small castings over lorry beds, mudguards and depots and a small scale suddenly carries the density of detail you normally see on large dioramas.
These sets match 1:72 military model kits for size and will stretch to fairly large supply scenes. Every pattern across the sizes is in model jerrycans, drums and containers. The single layer of dust that ties containers to the groundwork comes from weathering pigments. Modern plastic cans, meanwhile, take saturated colour well: khaki next to blue and red looks lively.
