Thanks, I used a colored padded paper with an adhesive backing that you can get at Walmart. I just rolled it up and then sanded it to shape and painted it flat black.

Appreciate it brother, if I can do something like this, I'm sure you could too. Try it and you'll see that you might be good at it, and you'll have fun doing it.

Thank you sir, but like I tell everyone that sees my models, if I can do it, you can do it, and it costs a lot less than buying plastic models from the store!
