Make Tin Can Models

Stand by your beds.
Went to a fair on the weekend and saw a stall that was selling Tin Can Models of motor bikes, aeroplanes, handbags, baseball caps etc. These were fantastic models and must have taken hours of construction.
I have searched the web and can find no sites that would give a clue into their manufacture, only the selling of.
Is there anyone out there that has the knowledge or can recommend a book into their construction or a web site that would give me more information ???

Thanks for your interest. Yes I have come to the conclusion that they are made abroad after searching and searching the web and finding no sites to show how to make them. There are some clever people about, probably they are made in a third world country for peanuts.What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.0

You're a star.
Keep me posted and of course I will do the same if I get any info.
They are so intricate and would love to give it a go ???
The seams are the biggest bug, just how do they do it.
Thanks again.
