Does anybody know if someone makes jerry cans in a bundle like this? I want to fill the back of a deuce and a half with them, but I don't want to go the route of individual cans. Any of you resin guys ever put something like this together?

PLMP- I don't have anything like this made, but it certainly seems simple enough, How many bundles would you need and when wuold you need them?

Those would most Deff. be Empty cans!!! They'd take some time to cast but it's doable.... the handles can be a pain though

Casting would do. First, do a cast on the parent Jerry Can. Then make up how many do you like (let's say 5 for the moment). Then use that bundle as a parent cast for the bundle. Use that bundle cast to make many bundle cast. There you go!
Sorry, can't help you with casting. Never done it but it's the best idea I had.

Thanks guys. I will look into the Resicast kit. Hopefully there is a US distributor. I may have to look into some of you resin gurus making up a batch of them.

PLMP, Do you need these things really soon? If you can wait a little while, I'd be more than happy to make some for you and try this pressure cast system out on them to see how it works with something other than what I used for my demo. I can cast the cans in a bundle and cast the handles seperately. Let me know if you are interested. "Q"
