Styrene sheets, tubes and rods have many uses in modelmaking, especially for basic and advanced modifications. There are many uses, from minor little modifications to constructiong an entirely new model kit from it!
Here's an example how a little styrene can help bring out a bit of detail from a model. We've started out by finishing the Hobby Boss VK601 Leopard light tank, and making it look like its in service...
The idea is to use the spare tracks supplied in the kit, and doing a tool rack and jerry can holder, similar to what in-service Panther tanks have.
It was really easy to make; all you needed was just a few strips and rods, and handy imagination as to how it will look like when painted.
And before you know it, that's all you needed to fill up the sides, as compared to a rather bland and flat tank if you didn't have them on.
And there you go! Little details do make up a bigger picture. After careful painting our little Panther cub looks ready to go!
