Very cool.. Makes you appreciate how hard it was traveling in that kind of weather in an open top vehicle..

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

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.
