Check out Woofer's page. I know he had some health problems recently, but you could try to contact him through his web page. Many members here (including myself) have bought from him. His stuff is fantastic and reasonably priced. If nothing else you can browse his site for ideas. Good luck.

The woofer's stuff is top notch, and You can also try build-a-rama.com They make all sorts of stowage packs in 1/18 as well.

If you go about half-way down the page, here, you can see one of my very early custom attempts on a 21c diecast M113 APC from May 2005 -- http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/view ... ?f=9&t=539

(I've since greatly improved my technique, but this was about as good as I could do in my apartment while I was going away to school and had only superglue, sharpies and what I could order online :wink: )

On the M-113, I replaced most of the original stowage with modern stowage items from Build-a-Rama. They still offer these same items, though they are now moulded resin instead of cloth.
