Description
These are 1:32 scale 55-gallon drums designed to add realistic industrial detail to scale builds, dioramas, and model scenes. Drums have ridges on the top and bottom helps them stack a little better!
The set includes:
Closed-top drum
Open / empty drum
Fill the open top one with epoxy to make a realistic looking liquid in a drum!
They pair well with:
Scale forklifts
Pallet racks
Dumpsters, barriers, and other warehouse or construction props
Simple geometry makes them easy to print, paint, and weather. Great as background detail or as interactive props in a scene.
Prints well in PLA or PETG
No supports required
Scale can be adjusted if needed
Feel free to remix or modify for damaged, dented, or themed barrels.
If you like this project, toss a coffee my way — it keeps the printer fed with filament and my workshop stocked with nuts and bolts!
