Fixit, if you get some dumpster photos, post them here if you can. Thanks for the advice on the wood. I used a piece of scrap framing 2x4 with fairly heavy grain. Maybe it is southern pine or whitewood.
And here is where I am on these now. Got them all "rough" painted and decales, next will be a dark wash, some rust spots, and then some drybrushing. This thread has been very informative, and I am glad to see so many folks interested. The thread gives some insight into different modeling styles and philosophies. We've got beautifully constructed and detailed dumpsters, and we have somewhat rough dumpsters. My focus was in quickly making a large number of dumpsters that would supplement the overall scene. On the other hand, it is apparent that SP1 put some care and effort into making his very nice.
