How to for modern armor

Post by NHoggard12 » Fri Dec 03, 2010 7:32 pm

Maybe some of you guys have done it before, but how do you make ID panels for modern armor?
Looking to add some for 1/32 armor; i think it has been done in 1/18
thanks

Talk to Picklehaube, he made some up. If he needs a minimum order, I'll pick some up also.

ok, I thought a board member put some together.
Are these 1/18?
I guess you can cut them down, but I not really sure what they look like--not really a modern armor guy.

I made the CIP in 1/18 scale and 1/32 scale.

Go to page 2

I have the plain with louvers and custom HUMVEE CIP panels as well.

Here are some being used on a 1/18 Abrams

Ok, i think i just need the plain--fitting them to the front of the 1/32 abrams (thought i would try the challenger 2 as well).
