Those/these are actually more like kegs than full size barrels, the detail as always is amazing.
Having the detail inside the open ones adds a whole new level of detail.
Here are two of them next to Brett's standard full size O scale resin barrel casting and an old crappy toy HO barrel I found lying around for a size comparison.
So, I guess these can be used as O scale kegs or HO barrels. Either way they are more than fantastic.
I'm looking forward to doing one of the new full size barrels after working up these beauties.

I use very thin wire and bend for door handles on your laser cut wood doors and just thought it would be cool to have these in 3D molds.
No one has these available that I know of.
Just a thought

Oh and Chris - HO Scale door handles and hinges are too small for me to realistically handle. I could print them no problem, it's the post printing process and processing that is impossible. But great suggestion and thanks my friend!
I personally notice the 'thin' defined scratches, so hard to get sharp, in scale, and, clear definition on those.
Also, the rust localized only where the paint is missing is beautifully done, also more defined around the shoulder.
Great stuff !!

How about gloves, like welders gloves for an example.
Again, just a thought
Time to spend a couple of hours getting some more of these beauties finished, moved over on to the completed tray and ready for action.
Just cut them out of paper.

I do have another idea though in my next post, that may benefit us all... if it's possible...
It would be a great addition to these incredible items to have the hole already there... slightly smaller than a toothpick so you could get a tight fit.
Because, as we all know, every now and then, it get's a little bit scary drilling a hole with your dremel in something as small as Brett's oil can,
a pre-printed hole would be sweet !!!
If you want to lay a barrel, drum, acetylene tanks, can, jack stand or any thing else on its side where the base could be seen it would be so much easier to fill in that one hole, than to drill all the others where it won't be seen.
Love the welder shield...this as well should not be a problem in 3D.
I know because I used 3D software (solidworks, pro-E and others) for 25+ years in my profession and now retired.
It all depends on the hardware (Machine) used. Most will use .stp files created by Solidworks, pro-e or others to create the model.
Keep up your great work Karl!
Not a bad idea , the pre drilled holes.. If that is possible, I don't know, not an expert, even a complete dummy on 3D printing.... Anyways, great work on all that Karl !!!
Love the detail on this one, the slats are all tapered perfectly and the bands are raised just right. At this point I wouldn't expect anything else.
Of course, the fact that this exquisite detail is all also on the inside of the tub makes this washtub stunning to see as you work on it, and then look at it when finished.
1) Totally different style on the left with the handle.
2) Two in the middle with the screws at different heights.
3) On the right no screw, but if you drybrush the inside, the threads are in there.
4) Awesome.
He also even puts the handles on different sides for even more variety, some on the left, some on the right !!
