It is not very often I see something that is truly original but Workbench Miniatures has done just that. They have released a two resin 1/35th scale skips which I am sure will be especially welcomed by modern era diorama builders and while I don’t know when this design of skip came into being I know it has been a considerable number of years.
Here is the information as provided by Workbench Miniatures.
As you can see these are resin skips, they are designed with the modern diorama builder in mind and can be used in a huge variety of different surroundings to produce a highly-detailed vignette within your scene.
Each Package will include the following:
• Two 1/35 Skip kits, a large builder’s skip with a separate loading door and a smaller ‘midi’ offering.
• A complete set of self-adhesive ‘Miracle Masks’ that allow the application of the ‘Ryder Skip Hire’ and ‘Waste-Away’ logos.
• An exclusive six-page article. This is will only be available as part of this package and will not only include the necessary assembly instructions, but also a detailed guide to the application of the masks and an in-depth feature on the painting and weathering of the two models used for the box art. This will be provided as single sheet of assembly instructions together with a CD that will include not only a high-resolution PDF for the remaining feature (thus allowing you to zoom-in on all of the images to examine the paintwork in great detail), but also, a separate file of images of the stowed skips and their ‘junk’ – the latter another exclusive inclusion in this kit.
• A numbered certificate of authenticity that will be signed and numbered to guarantee that the model you buy is an exclusive ‘Workbench Miniatures’ product.

The price of each set is £29.95, which includes the skip kits, the specialist 'Miracle Masks' (two complete sets), printed colour instruction sheet and CD that contains not only a high resolution six page article, but also a folder containing a set of high res images of the completed and loaded skips - all of which have been completed by myself. Postage is variable, but in the main it has been £4 to anyone in the UK and so far, £5.50 to the rest of the world via airmail. These costs pretty much only cover the postage, so the 'packing is essentially free! All payments are being taken via Paypal.
The ‘junk’ in the pictures is, of course, not included.
