Sandbags?

[Wrathchild]

Has anyone ever come across a site or company that sells 25-28 mm sandbags? I'm looking to do up my next chimera something along the lines of this:

Not quite as excessive as that, but I want to pile sandbags on the roof around the hatches and perhaps place some troopers in firing positions taking cover behind them. I could sculpt them if I can't find anything suitable, of course, but its easiest to just buy 'em.

Thanks in advance!

Great tutorials, especially the first . Rep. Thanks!

My pleasure and thanks for the rep! Figured the first one would fit perfectly with the kind of stuff you wanted to do on your vehicles.

Indeed it does, that's a useful technique.

Tamiya sell sand bag sets... They're pretty cheap I think...

Oeh, very nice find Castus. Making your own stuff is nice, but those 48 bags make for a very nice buy!

For that price i'll buy at least 5 packs for me! O.o
