Timslocum,
Just for fun check out this article, it's a pretty good one. Tells you step by step how to make 1/35th scale buckets using real metal. Double all of the dimensions and they should work perfectly for 1/16th tanks. Check it out and see how difficult they are to make. Sure beats a $26.00 Shumo bucket ($19.00 plus $7.00 shipping)

Best of luck!

I have been, more or less, using this guide for 1/35 when I couldnt find photo-etched ones, also made a bucket for my HL Tiger. You just need a bit of practice. Most buckets (except expensive ones) on sale are cast too thick anyway.
And remember - no German WWII afv model is accurate without at least one zink bucket!
