Description: Custom Return of the Living Dead Trioxin Barrel Built and ready to ship. All photos of actual barrel. THIS IS IT! For any ROTLD Fan! Another original design by me and one-of-a-kind offered now. This is a custom built Mini barrel inspired by the original Return of the Living Dead movie. As a super fan of this movie, just like yourself, I was never able to find or much less obtain a decent replica of the 2-4-5 trioxin barrel. ROTLD barrels come and go and usually less than desirable. If they are produced, NONE of them are in a genuine metal container, all plastic toys. Seen many attempts but never in this particular size and scale. I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own to offer fellow fans of the movie an exceptional piece to place and display among their collection. Overview and SpecificationsOverall dimensions 10" inches tall, 6" wide .Army BarrelRe-purposed mini 1 gallon beer keg. Now how neat is this. He measures 10 inches tall x 6 inches wide. Has dents, scratches and imperfections throughout. This is wear and damage that was done prior to me obtaining it and recycling it to this great final piece. Think college parties, BB gun target practice, etc., you get the idea. Minimal repair was done and intentionally left as-is prior to applying finishes to enhance the military wear appearance from being "transported" to the wrong location. A 4 -step finishing process was as follows: 1. Media blasted down to bare metal. 2. Applied 3 light coats of etching primer to bare metal. 3. Applied 3 light primer sealer over etching primer. 4. Applied final top coat with 3 light Black Matte finish coats. It is Ultra-flat and non-reflective with a pitted rough feel. It is then finished off with a 3M vinyl printed corrosive sticker warning label. Pre- melt Tarman100% custom designed, resin casting and hand painted. Viewing WindowCustom created wood frame and custom acrylic window cut by CNC machine. Light white smudges on the internal edges was applied along with acrylic to mimic condensation and water vapor. Both were hard-riveted together to the barrel opening and then topped off with steel caps. Permanent and non-removable. Front stencilingIn order to match the movie's official lettering a custom designed stencil was stamped on oil board by using a 100% authentic and original military stamping machine. These type of stencils were used by the US Army during World War II and modern military equipment ranging from jeeps, airplanes, ammo cans. etc. This exact template has been applied to this mini barrel. The placement and proper application to execute it as accurate as possible was VERY DIFFICULT to achieve, but in my opinion, was well worth the extra effort. I have seen many try to capture and replicate this, even the commercially licensed produced products, and they always seem to miss the mark somehow. One of my favorite features of this build. .Final Notes: Keep in mind all the parts used for this build are CUSTOM and my own creation inspired by the movie. Although every attempt was made it is not a complete 100% copy of the original from the movie. You will be disappointed if you are seeking a carbon copy of it. If you can appreciate an individual's work of art, you will be very happy with it and proud to display. This is just my rendition version of what I was seeking to obtain. This mini barrel was made with great care and pride to result in the best top quality build. It is handmand art and any imperfections are individual artist traits and/or intentional to achieve a damaged barrel. Tarman was strategically placed inside through the front opening before being sealed off. There is no cut-outs or entry way from the outside of the barrel. The matte finish was left as-is with no protective coating as to not add any sheer or gloss to the finish to avoid detracting from the overall storage appearance. Matte finishes of this type are subject to scratches and chipping if not handled carefully. This is not an indication of using poor materials or workmanship. This is NOT a toy and strictly an art piece. It is intended for adults and DISPLAY ONLY. This type of artpiece takes a significant amount of time to plan/build/craft and assemble. This results in the best representation of this unique piece. I have disclosed and represented to the best of my ability the details of this neat custom built mini tabletop barrel but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Only serious offers will be considered. Shipping: Only ship locally in the U.S. Will be safely packed and shipping included. It will ship ground. It will exceed 4 days. eBay default 3 day shipping is incorrect.Thank you for reviewing my creation and looking forward to sending this awesome mini barrel to its new owner!
