Very good job. 8) I like the open hatch on the side with the stuff hanging out. Nice touch.

Flyboy,

I'm curious, where did you get the nice chain, and how did you get its rusted look to it? Likewise, the netting on the other halftrack intrigues me as well, and I'm wondering where you got that also.

The little details pique my curiosity, and finding good chain and netting this scale can be a pain to me.

Also, how did you do the gunshot on the glass of the Kubel? Looks very good.

I FEELS YA PAIN
The chain is some heavily modified necklace chain i got at Michaels.
I painted the chain with a brown base coat and did numerous washes in different browns, then airbrushed it with a dusty brown color to look well.... dusty, then sealed it with some lacquer. and the netting is medical gauze soaked in Elmer glue then painted in a german green.
