1/18 Panzer IV side skirts?

Has anyone actually fabricated any? If so, what did you use for your references or templates? Also, has anyone experimented with making the screens as opposed to the solid skirts?

Nope, that's a new one for me. Thanks PC!

As for the mesh skirts, I imagine all you would need for the base material would be metal window screen. That should give you the best approximation of the mesh spacing. All it was there for was to detonate bazooka and other shaped charges right?
