I present, the captain's cocktails!

One of the newest miscellaneous items to come out for TF2

Here's what they look like in game
[link]

How I made this replica:

-2 Chief Boyardee cans which their contains had to be eaten out first

-Had to drill two holes (one for each can) for the small wooden pegs

-Glue the pop off lids back on with gorilla glue

-Used two more small pegs for the wooden stopper

-used Fireworks to make the label and printed it out

-the 2 rings are rubber washers for garden hoses, painted to match the ring color as close as possible

-To give the cans the beat up shape, I hit them both several times with a tack hammer

-and of course just used regular white yard for the string

Not a perfect replica but certainly a recognizable one

More props on the way in the coming days

thanks :)

It's good to here that my work on these will benefit others when they attempt to make their own. Depending on how things go when you are making your own pair of "cocktails," you may just find ways to improve upon my methods. Of course there were no guides for me to look at when making these. My only reference was the images of the in-game item. The rest I had to brain storm based on what I knew was available around me and in my home town. For example I found those wooden cylinders at hobby stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels.

I never thought that my crafting skills could have that kind of effect on people.
