I don't know how many or if any one on the forum is interested in doing tin ware in miniature but I am posting a link to a tutorial on tin work that I put together.
Browse through the rest of the tip section and you might find something else of interest in model building. Also Greenie is a large contributor to the tip section.

Thanks Bill for posting the tutorial, very interesting and informative and great encouragement for me to get away from plastic.
Edit.
Just spent some more time looking through your original posting and found the tin bath, brilliant was looking for some info on these couple of months ago so yet again thanks
