Not real good. Theres not much in Aus that I can lay my hands on.
What did you have in mind? Soft-bodied objects are a bit beyond my skills (and software!), but anything rigid is doable.
Water bottles, big ones that you see in an office, a coke or soft drink crate with bottles in it, dare i say an ornate wrought iron section of balustrade, an AK ammo crate, a PKT ammo crate, well hey !! you asked
Yes please, I'll happily hand over some beer tickets for some of those as well.

Its getting there now, more dirty.
The all important stowage, if the shambolic mess seen on these things is considered stowage, is what will make this thing 'right'
I have some hub caps coming for the sprockets which will also improve the finish.
Still a lot to do..................

Looks great.
What did you use to paint the Z's? Just freehand brush?
What do the Russians use as a fuel container instead of a jerry can?

My Z'ds were freehanded with really thin paint and a suitable brush, photos Ive seen vary from spray cans to what looks like Bunnings paint brushes!!
Who's Tank is that ?"...............its Z'ds honey"..."wheres Z'd?"......................"Z'ds dead honey, now get on the f'n bike"..................
Ive been searching for a birdacage to hang off the inside of the Bali-Hut but so far no good.

The letters "V" ..."Z". were painted with a brush, hand.....
In the best case, an aerosol can ....
The history of letters is banal.
A month before the start of the military operation, large-scale tactical exercises were taking place nearby, the troops were divided into two parts "East" Vostok and "West" Zapad, the first letters were applied to the equipment to distinguish "friend or foe", 24.02. did not manage to wash off the signs ....

The weathering's bringing it to life, I really like the contrast with the bright chips on the alloy bins. The bucket's a cute touch, too!
