I would use masking tape: Doubled so it won't stick and then just cut tinny strips and fix with ca glue....My two cents.

I was going to jump in with wine bottle foil, but I see I'm too late. Maybe I should have only drunk half the bottle Straps look dynamite Leon. Nice job . |

That's too bad Bud. Just make sure it's the real foil and not the plastic stuff. There is a plus to all this though. You need to buy more wine.HA

Hey, did I miss this? When I did military service at the Bundeswehr, this was my working horse: tiny, loud, slooooooooow and dirty. A snail with tracks.  |

Afternoon fellas,i want to make some web grab straps.So far i tried thin styrene strips,ribbon which frayed after i cut it and thread which is way to small.Failed at all attempts.Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Have you tried small stripes of lead? Wine bottles feature it - works well. Paper or Tamiya tape works fine here, too. Btw - the interior color looks like the real thing! A bit washing here and there - and there you go (as far as I can remember, the M113 was always dirty inside). |

Well... I made some lessons on her to get some practice with small tanks. But thats it. I loved the Leopards (2A5) and SPzs that our Infantry Btl and the Artillery Btl had far more (SPz "Fuchs") - but wasnt allowed to drive them.  Youll be surprised how easy it will be with the Tamiya tape. Just make sure you paint the stripes before you trim them - thats a bit easier. And of course theyre a bit sticky, so its very easy to create a grab strap. Good luck! |
