How do you make windshield cracks? I would like to do the same to my model as the picture below.

Also what is the best way to make wheeled vehicle tire tracks in a desert enviroment?

Cracks can be done with a sharp No 11 blade by just tracing the cracks on with the blade. If the crack is from a bullet, drill a tiny hole in the center of the crack when you are done.

Tire tracks in sand would be nothing more than if you dragged a stick through sand. Try just rolling the tire through the sand first then sprinkle a thin layer of sand on top of them to soften them up.

For those bullet holes use a engraving cutter with a round tip.
turnd it round by hand and press it wile turning to get a good looking bullethole
(after you made the cracks!!)
