Stowage

[Sappo]

He builds 1/35 and was looking for stowage for his latest project and I think he just saved and printed off what he found on the internet. Didn't realise that he was printing them off so large

Look what my neighbor gave me today.

Oh and while on the subject of stowage are tankers supplied with Molle or Alice packs and do you know of a site that has instructions on how to make them

[Sappo]

Oh gawd, basically what you do is twist 2 wires tight. Get a pair of needle nose pliers and hold the twisted wires about 25mm from the end. Tie a 3rd wire to the rest and take it over the top of the plier, twisting it around the twin wires nice and tight. Remove the pliers and put them on again on the other side of the twist.Then repeat for whatever length you want. Then I cut the top of the loops. Beware, it does work as it should and will catch, tangle or scratch what it contacts.

Wow that is impressive work to fabricate barbed wire at that scale! Are you tying, twisting, and clipping each section using jeweler's pliers?!?

I was lazy with my Abrams stowage, reusing water cans from other RTRs and 3D printing road wheel hangars (incidentally the same part used to hold together the track links/cleats).

Oops, cocked up the sequence a bit but you get the general idea. Need to get a few more of the guys to show off their stowage and stuff

[Sappo]

k Well I followed your advice and kept it up. LOL. Next was some barbed wire, and I am here to tell you that it works. Here is a pic of the process and another of the finished painful product.

Well still in lockdown so it was time for some stowage, tarps and deployment bags, on the m1a2. Used tissue and pva glue. Think they came out ok. Did a bit of a Google search just for some basic designs, tell us what you think.

Looks Great!!! Keep it up!

Oh yeah painted them green for 2 reasons, 1st been they tended to disappear at distance when painted a desert colou and 2nd the photos I saw most of the stowage was od anyway, must have been pulled from war stock.
