These look pretty good, Don! Though the 'weave' of the bandages looks a bit heavy for 1/35th scale, the overall effect is pretty good, and the cost is low. The method I like is to use shaped epoxy putty textured with an old tee-shirt to impress the hessian bag effect. These bags have the advantage of being realistically "drape-able," but the cost will add up.
As a sidebar, I remember in the mid-1970's, some modelers used Chicklets Gum to make sandbags; the larger ones for 1/32nd / 1/35th scale, and the smaller ones for 1/76th scale. (I did say it was the mid-1970's . . . .) The candy shell would be soaked-off, the pieces put into position, and sealed with paint when dry. To me, this was a waste of good gum, but a lot of my friends swore by it.
Thanks, Don! 19th like.
Creative and inspired work as usual, love the sand bags!
Hi Don, Another great video, I have made your previous sandbags but this new process looks a much better way to make them. Spotted a bike at the end of the bridge. Thank for sharing Don
Wow thank you so much Sir🫡
Was it just just me who thought they were shreddies
