Very nice like the sand bags alot. How did you make them?

Thanks! Sandbag were fairly simple. Rolled a log of epoxy putty to about 3/8 inch thick. They cut 1/2-inch section. Next I flatten them and pinched the edges to form the basic shape of the sand bag. I began layer them into place and giving final shape with my sculpting tool and the back end of old paint brushes. After I got the final position, I created the material texture on them by press each bag with a piece of brass fine mesh.


Hope that helps.

I also sometimes make actual sandbags with ho railroad ballast and tissue. Email me if you want the drawing for these/
