I used a soldering iron to heat up the underside of the plastic front mud flaps and bent them with pliers, the shell holes were made again with a soldering iron with tip chopped off and a small hole drilled in the end, so when you push the iron into the plastic it looks like the round is melted into the hull, I saw this on a Panther parked up on a trailer in Folkstone earlier this year. I will posted a better picture of this later. The rest was with a dremal sanding disk bounced off the hull to give random dents.B_Man wrote: Nice work Phil, great result.
How did you do the battle damage?
The point is you are going to enjoy building, reading forums on how to's, and being part of the Tank community, I've learnt a lot over the past three years and one tip I would say is to practice your technique on odd bits of plastic before you attack your tank.Mackem wrote: I'm going to have a hard time matching this build.
Top notch job.

Thats looking good, every time I see your's and Ravens updates I realise that I have more to do. Where did you get the small chain for the MG cover and barrel brush lid please? I was toying with the idea of cutting up one of my wifes necklaces, that would have been a last minute mod before one second after cutting it up, spraying the evedence and then denying all knowledge of ever seeing it (or blaming our daughter).

Chain can be bought from almost of the shops on this forum
Raven, top idea for the tow cables by the way, as you can see I need to do those on my tank.
