Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make a M35A2 damaged enough that it is not capable of driving anymore? I was thinking of having some RPG damage to it any ideas on that? Possible having it turned over on its side, but what usually makes trucks turn over, other than going too fast around a turn?

I also want to have a damaged jeep that has been sitting around for a while. This is going to be a guntruck convoy dio. and the jeep was from a prior ambush. I want to show it somewhat rusty to show the weathering, and damaged. any ideas on that one?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

A broken Axle would work. Check out Squadron's Guntrucks book, as it has some photos of damaged trucks. I'll scan them at somepoint if you need them.

Mine damage on a front wheel,then the truck on its side,like it veered off the edge of the road on that side,and fell over.

Model it with the hood up, as if something happened the engine! It would probably help if there is an engine already in the kit, otherwise this will cost extra to show properly!
