How would I go about making a Vietnam Style revetment for my F-105d in 1/48 scale?

Any help will gladly be appreciated!!!

Is this what you're talking about?

If so, I'd start with sheet styrene for the base and thin strips of styrene by evergreen. You can get the large and thin strips pre cut to thickness. You just cut it to size.
They also sell styrene in 'corregated' form, stuff that looks like the corregated metal.
Let me know if this is what type of revetment you mean and I can add more detail.

Found this too

Id definitely look into a styrene solution. Evergreen makes a bunch of prefabricated styles, cobblestone, corrigated, brick, etc. I'd check them out. I'm pretty sure they come in different scales.
If you can't get the prefab stuff, you could scribe your oun from a blank sheet. Just use the back of a #11 blade and a ruler. Scribe in the recesses. Use stock strips for the vertical pieces. The base could be poured plaster. Make a simple block mold out of small strips of styrene glued with epoxy. Get some woodland scenic plaster or regular plaster of paris or household spackle. Fill the mold, let it dry, pop it out, clean it up.
thats a start - ask more questions as you go.

I t should look like this one, is the picture you sent one like this?

Well, anyway thats what I want mine to look like.

Hiya chip......back in the late '80's early '90's Synergy Dio Products released what you are looking for in 1/72 and 1/48 scale....the company went out of business in '92......but I have now been given the rights to all the old product and I am going to be starting the company again in the next couple of months.....if you can wait that long......I might be able to get some off to you as a pre release.

I was looking through Micro-Marx catalog and they have a bunch of products at different scales. http://www.micromark.com/
The other company is plastrucs

They have a variety of products too.

If you want to scratch build one you can always do that too. Use a base piece of plastic sheet styreen and either scribe the grooves in or cut thin strips and glue them on. You can potentially find a courrigated (sp?) cardboard that has a small enough 'wave' in the middle. Peal off the outter layer and that will leave you with the rippled middle exposed. The deal there is the ripples will be curved and the images I've seen are more squared off.

I am also looking for 1/48 revetments. I have some of the Synergy revetments. It took a little work to get them to fit but they build up nicely. Are they going to be made out of resin or plaster? Keep me on your list when they come out.
Thanks

Didn't Verlinden make these as well? I have a 1/72 set......they are a beige color....look almost resin....not that I know what a resin part looks like.....got them cheap...figured I would use them someday.....

They used to. I cant seem to find any on thier site. They make a 1/48 Chopper one........(sandbags)
