It's so cheesy it could just be real. It's so obviously fake it could have just been used in 1943. It's such an eye-catching beat-up "Third Reich" drinking can that you could almost say it has more character than if it were real.

Boredom. Home alone. Big re-closeable Monster.

I sanded down the skin of it to bare metal. Then I applied a quick coat of Testors primer. A nice close-to-German grey that I had laying around. Too much gloss, but whatever. I had some old waterslides laying around from model planes.

Chose a Luftwaffe cross, a couple red warnings, and Bombe! as well. They're tiny but who cares. I applied. Looked new. Scratched away heavily. Put a dent in the side (big whole side dent) and then scribble the name "Fangs" (my nickname) in German on the side, and underneath that wrote III, standing for III corps, and then '43 under that. Scratched the decals and writing a little. Just now clear coated it.

Fixing to take pics in about 15 minutes.

Quick way to make a custom "WWII German" drinking can. Hey, at least it makes me want to carry water with me when I skate! :D

Left my camera in my friend's car. As well as all of my skateboards, a 33, and a donated item to decorate my room...
