Hello,

is there an easy way to model era bricks for additional armor in 1/100?

Anyone selling any?

thanks

you can buy small square and oblong plastic strips from evergreen and plastruct, just choose a size nearest and then cut them into length, then spend hours scrabbling round on the floor for them as they will always spring away from you when you cut them!!!!!!

Or buy models with them already moulded on.

Mould the mass of them in Milliput, then scribe the surface for individual bricks with a sharp point

When you cut the Evergreen sprues, do so inside a poly bag ( like a sandwich bag) and most of the 'jumpers' will be collected ready for use…….always one or two that find the opening!

I think I'd just look for minis with them already on, and/or lobby the manufacturers to make them.

Sometimes the latter strategy does work.
