What'd you use for netting flyboy? And for the rust on the chain? Just curious what your methods were on both.

Now Hasbro, make us some Head Sculpt & Endor Uniform variations! The new Rebel Fleet Trooper gets the JJ Seal of Approval Though!

The netting was buildarama's 1/18 netting with elmers glue and a heat gun to shrink it on to the tank. I plan on making some net like that and will make a Tut on how to do it..
As for the chain I just painted it.

Thanks flyboy. I thought maybe you self-rusted the chains, I couldn't tell. Interesting on the netting. I'm curious to see how you'll duplicate it. I've been using "Spooky cloth" from Halloween and I love it, but I'm always looking for netting variation too.

Nice mods you have done. Looks very nice & realistic.
Now, you just need a "winter" diorama to fit the vehicle in.
