Who did the run of Dapper Dan Cans, before here on RPF?

Well, I had the lid labels ready months ago and had almost completed the side label. I stood down when we heard about a run of proper tins full of genuine pomade by the RPF'er who did the previous run! I am happy to contribute my camera ready artwork to the cause in exchange for a few tins. I didn't get as far as looking for suitable tins to use. Failing that I can provide sticky back high-gloss labels to whoever wants them when we can establish final dimensions (cost to be determined).

i think for a "quick replica" we could use the large cans of kiwi shoe polish...

a simple repaint would do it...

Why not use available cans of pomade and make the stickers to fit them?

That way it's actually pomade and not a shoe polish. Cans can be painted prior to application. Boom.

I have to agree with Laffo. All the shoe polish tins I have found have a little dooberry on the side which isn't accurate. Also, they're full of shoe polish. :lol
Sorry for the delay, but I am just back from vacation.
I need to check back over the middle part of this thread but hadn't somebody already prepared a bunch of tins? :confused

Their "seamless tin with plain lid" looks pretty close. The centre of the lid should be recessed rather than raised, but that's being a bit picky (perhaps?).
The bottom of the tin shouldn't have a lip. I suspect I'm just seeing a shadow in their tiny photo, but it could be a rolled lip. We need to check that.
Also their 3oz tin seems to be a bit too small to my eye. 2.7" dia. x .8". Perhaps a bit of artistic licence and using their 4oz tin would be better. What does everybody else think? (assuming, of course, that George Clooney is not a tiny guy)

Actually, this may be freunds source for tins.

Let's see where this project goes over the next few weeks. I shall still be making my own Dan and Fop tins (not a run, just for me). I have yet to see anybody's artwork that is accurate for either tin. I don't know if the details Kapow has corrected on this run match what I think I have seen.
The artwork for the mount I showed previously will probably be available here in the future.

If you do a run, I would certainly be in for both a Dan and a Fop. I'm getting one of the Kapow's, but this is one prop I wouldn't mind having a couple of. Thanks for all your work on these Kevin, and I look forward to seeing them when you're finished.
