About this model
A bright blue plastic drum with an open top, the type used for water or chemicals. It is clean and bold in colour. It is about 1.5 ft across and 3 ft tall. The plastic is bright blue and shows a little dirt. A cluster of them is a quick way to add colour and clutter to a dock or a rooftop. They can be filled with water, rubbish or something more sinister, depending on the scene.
Use it in docks, farms, factories and survivor camps. It is lighter than a steel drum, so it is easy to roll or push over. It gives a little cover and adds colour to a cluttered yard.
Ideas for the table
- The water drums in camp have been tampered with.
- Kids use the blue drums as stepping stones across the flooded yard.
- A drum of chemicals tips over and fills the room with fumes.
