Rusty Oil Barrels

This evening, I built and weathered some oil barrels. The oil barrels were plastic parts that came in two halves. I found them in my scrapbox, so I am not sure what manufacturer made them. They originally came in what, to my eye, was an unrealistic, plasticy, blue. I painted them brown, red , and black, and then drybrushed them with brown, black, and light grey paint.  I think they turned out fairly well. I will probably add one or two of them to my section house scene and save the rest for later projects.
