Not worthy *kowtows* Not worthy

Your mastery of the fabric is amazing. The mud and dirt look absolutely real.

I buy you a beer

Your stowage is outstanding! I've just started working on interiors. Your build inspires me to spend more time working on exterior gear. What did you use to create the various fabrics?

Hi, i use Tamiya 2 part epoxy putty, roll them into thin sheet and work them to the shape of rolled tarp and canvas using a brush, follow by base coat of black primer and hand paint them using Vallejo Acrylic, to get the ultra matt finish of fabric i spray on a layer of AK matt varnish....

Always loved this little tank and yours is one of the best I've seen! Completely agree with all the prior comments. Was that Blast sandbag armor easy to work with? Beautiful results and thanks for sharing!

Hi Jack,

The blast sandbag wasn't a walk in the park to work with, there were gaps that need to be filled here and there, i will highly recommend to install the headlight and guard after you have fixed the sandbag....
