The Nuka Cola bottles are actually clear resin casts, done by my friend. He had them for sale for awhile, but his job moved him to Alaska unfortunately.

Thanks! I'm glad you asked!
4mm styrene tube and a pipe cutter to score the lines

Oh goodie, I've got a cutter like that lying around somewhere. If I ever find out where I misplaced it, I can start making tin cans  ;D
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Well if you cant find your pipe cutter you can just go the easy route and get that miniaturizer going and empty some real cans.  :-)

It's not that simple, he lives in the Seattle Area, but has to leave his family for months at a time to work in Alaska, so his side sculpting/casting business has been put on hold for the forseeable future. I know, I know..RL interfering with hobby life..a travesty. Airlines nowadays don't allow you to carry things like pressure pots aboard planes.

Thanks!

on the subject of Pipe Cutters- I learned a hard lesson and bought the expensive K&S Engineering pipe cutter, but the cheap, $4 red Taiwan-built cutter is a superior tool to the more expensive K&S tool.

HA! Damn that real life stuff.
But i see a fix right here. Just tell him to buy his own plane. Problem solved i think. :-)

On the bottles, there is an O-Gauge RR company that sells clear plastic bottles as well as a crate for them but I can't seem to remember which one.

There is a shady-looking ebay listing out there
http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-COCA-COLA-BOTTLES-1-43-O-Scale-/380175860490
Seems like a deceptive picture/description to me

I PM'd my buddy to see if he has any bottles left, if anyone is interested. No promises though.

Yeah, been oogling that listing for a while now. Maybe I'll bite when the time is right  (read : when I made way more progress on my Fallout stuff)

I'm interested! For the price of a international stamp shipping would be pretty good on those to down under.
