Carve and smooth those. Add bands. Fill seam with putty. Sand smooth. The tension cords are kneadatite. Rolled out and let cure. Cut to size and glued to place. Adding putty to appropriate places.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358310352981705483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755339669613897589.post-35029675937471104302014-01-03T18:50:32.621-08:002014-01-03T18:50:32.621-08:00Yes, drums were/are very different in size dependi...Yes, drums were/are very different in size depending on the time period and army.

What I do is wrap the plastic sheet around a brass dowel about three times, using plastic model glue as the adhesive.
