Thought I would make a build thread and show how I went about making some scale sandbags for my Sherman build, they end up 20mm x 40mm.
Step 1
I used an old white cotton t shirt measure a rectangle 50mm x 45mm
Step 2
Using a 30cm ruler I marked out 6 at a time
and cut out your 6 rectangles
Step 3
Fold in half to make 25mm x 45mm then sew the open side and one end (the bottom) I managed this on a sewing machine after practice but can be done by hand with small stitches when finished turn inside out (I used a pencil)
Step 4
Make super strong tea I used bowl and 2 tea bags leave to soak until required colour and add salt to help fix dye
Step 5
I filled 3/4 with fine sand then used thick brown thread to tie the top then watered down PVA to the top
Then when dry apply to what ever you made them for
