Hello,
I would like to know if anyone knows of a tutorial that shows you how to make bottles for dioramas weather its in 1/35th or 1/72nd scale? Maybe even an article?

Hello Jody,

Use some clear sprue.

Heat the sprue gently in the centre, gently pull apart until
you get the desired shape and let cool.

Cut the ends and reheat to form the opening.
sand to shape and drill out.

Paint bottles with semi opaque (translucent paint).

And paint on the labels.

Cheers,
Joe
