Has anyone ever made scratch built water bottles? I'm sure there have been people who have done this, can anyone recommend a link? I'd like to have some soldiers hand out water bottles in my diorama.

Clear Sprue chucked into a rotary tool of some kind..... and a sharp object to shape them....

Try stretching clear sprue, not too thin, and you should have a bottle at both ends of the thin part. Or heat up empty pen ink tubes, the kind in a Bic pen. The trick to both these is to keep the "pointy" part straight and not cocked to one side.

-Good Luck

I found a thread that explains the pen method

Hi the trick is to keep the pen tube vertical when stretching it , this way you do not end up with bent or miss shapen ends . I have been doing this for over 25 years , practice is the key cheers ian

Hey thanks for the help, the guys in my Katrina diorama will appreciate the H2O!
