The drums are easily made from aluminium baking trays.
I have made 140 drums, and are of very low cost.

Thanks, Peter.
It is a neat way to make the drums.
I'm sure the process would also work in Large Scale,
1:24 in my case.
Thanks for starting the Thread.

My next project is this Liberty Classics Studebaker tank truck.
I will try to remove lettering and keep the gold striping.
Different wheels and a painted top is all I plan to do to complete it.

Tonight I started work on the project.
The top has the first coat and the wheels are exchanged with another set.
