I think I may have... Not sure. Just buy some aves epoxy scuplt. It is ROCK hard. Get the smallest container, it goes far. Then use a screw driver to make the dimples.

Thanks, how would I spread it on the tank? With a cake froster or something? Do I need to prep the plastic somehow before I apply it?

Use your fingers and water to smooth it.

You can also use a "stamp". Imperial sells them.

or if you have more money than time look into buying Atak sheets in 1/16 scale. They are on ebay.
