What era?

 

[Ian M]

Out in the garden with a dust pan and brush. Sweep up from the path. Small twigs and the like become logs and branches at scale.

so we are saying 1.35 ?


for paper u just use,the packing paper for kits,as most times,itt from the Ukraine ,


HK,China,has interesting letters you can still see when crunched up,


for rubbish ,make out of a rubbish bag just small,


for tin, i would just use kitchen foil,cut to size and bent around a cocktail stick or BBQ one,


as for signs get them from the net,


hope this is a help,

Drilled out sprue with an open paper lid makes an OK old can. There are aftermarket bottles available or stretched sprue cut at the right place can work.

Alan, you have got to have some livestock just wandering about...even just a couple of chickens!


What about drinking straws cut up for old paint tins and cut in half for rotten gutters?


I know it's not man made junk, but spread out some polyfilla the thickness you want, then when it goes hard paint it Iraqi then smash it up.....rubble, stones, bits of buildings and walls.

[eddiesolo]

Use real black bin bags, cut a round section fill with paper, pinch the top-twist and tie with a bit of cotton-one miniature bin bag.
