“It’s come to clean up!”
I made this mini by complete accident! The initial idea was to make some cool scatter terrain, which would have included a number of barrels. But old habits die hard, and after starting to make one, I couldn’t help myself and stuck two eyes, two eyebrows, and a nose on it. Thus ending up with a “Bin Dude!”
I started by simply gluing eleven small lengths of sprue together to form a cylinder. Then, after adding the facial features, I chopped up an old base to make the bottom and lid of the bin.
To add some texture to the model, I scratched lines all over it before adding all of its limbs. To finish it off, I gave it a large broom and a small dustpan brush for its choice of weapons!
As with all my paint jobs, this one was quick and easy to do. After priming it in black, I lightly painted the main body with silver before adding a rust effect by dabbing and dry brushing brown, then orange.
This one was really fun to make, and it has given me so many more ideas! And you never know, it could be the start of a whole army of cleaning products!
