i started collecting bottle caps after the spectre posted his cargo containers made from 2 glued together. i don't drink soda and don't go anywhere these days so i have only come up with a few. some are older which look different and are slightly a different size, others are pepsi instead of coke product also slightly different. so i matched all i could.
i ended up over sanding so i switched to hot glue. bonus is it is almost impossible to glue your fingers together! after getting all the caps glued i started laying out valves, top caps, and other random bits to top them with.
ta da!
the thin green bottles are off a bandai figure w/tru ap boat wires.
these almost look like droids to me, or shop vacs.
the red part is off junk christmas ornament lanterns.
these are some kind of sci-fi fuel cells with couplers. since i used hot glue i should be able to split the couplers into male/female if i need to.
the gray bits are from some small model car bits i got from a coworker about 8 yrs ago, and the red from the christmas lanterns.
my absolute favorites. gas and oxy tanks with the valve off of a tru ap boat.
mis matched gas and oxy tanks w/gray car bits ,a screw, and a removable rubber zoids? knob.
lots of fun, for almost free
thanks spec.
