    T34/85 Tank in a village 1/35 Scale

    John if you do end up removing it give this a try...its a Woodland Scenics product.....just have to bunch it together and glue it on. ...Your roof area is much larger than the one I did on a small vignette awhile back but it achieved the same purpose. Hope this helps

    resin gun slings

    has anyone tried these yet? curious about how to bend them to the shape to achieve drooping or folded over slings.. I see that they say to use heated water to make the bends but more so curious on the end result.

    Thank you Allen and glad you are awake and sober for the moment at least..lol I used Woodland Scenics products using different colors of field grass and kind of just blended them together on the bench before cutting them into lengths and then attached them with white "Elmers" glue which was...
