January 25, 2015I've had this model for ages, but could never find the small tile zimmerit I wanted 🙁2
January 25, 2015Decided to make my own zimmerit by scribing paper-thin plastic sheet.3
January 25, 20154
January 25, 2015Just two light strrokes is enough to scribe the plastic. More than that can cut it.5

January 25, 2015The scribed sheet glues well with liquid cement.7
January 25, 2015It melts quickly, which adds texture to the individual tiles. There's also an opportunity to inflict "battle damage."8
January 25, 2015Can even zimmerit the ball-like machine gun mantlet 🙂.9

January 31, 2015Re-locating the tube for the gun-cleaning equipment was the most difficult modification. Had to remove the molded-on straps and replaced them with plastic and metal strips.16

February 3, 2015A general wash can be pretty ugly, until it's swabbed off...22
