Ah. I like an echo!

Eric, I agree that it would look better with a label. Maybe I'll add one.

It is 3D printed from Ed Traxler. I got a sprue of liquor bottles and beer bottles. They are frosted when you get them but when you apply a translucent paint they magically turn clear. The paint in question here was "smoke". I've also used "clear green" and gloss varnish.

Fantastic Bryan!! I think the coloring of the brick and motor is spot on. I also like the bottle color as others have noted. Just a wonderful dio with so much in such a small space. Very, very nice.

Hello gentlemen, new guy jumping in. I have been using the 3D printed bottles for some time. Mine are from Shapeways, and as brownbr suggests, they are fantastic. Oil, booze, beer - stick 'em to the tongue depressor tape and paint. I'm using the W&N water soluble oils; green, sienna, etc. Up to the neck for full, half for my most current bottle of JWB, and so on. Swipe on a label with the usual acrylic paint, touch up the top for the correct cap, and the effect is quite pleasing. No oil and just the label fills the trash can nicely.

They look great, especially mixed in like you did with the cast metal bottles.
