Greetings all,
I need some helpful ideas on how I can make a model look like it's been destroyed. I would like to do a diorama that has a tank that got destroyed as part of the city scene for the king tiger that is driving down the center of the street. I was thinking I could melt the plastic but I'm not sure if I should use a soldering iron, a torch or other way to do this. I figured there our guys here that have done this before that may be able to share some ideas on the subject. I would be grateful for any links to other resources as well.

Thanks,
Dave

James beat me to it. Check out Rob's work. It really does not get any better than that.
