Hi all, need help from those who have done the anti-slip surface for their tanks. I have a Hobby Boss 1/72 Merkava IV and would like to do the anti-slip surface as the Spanish master modeller Juan Carlos Carmona has done in the below vid for a 1/35 Meng kit. Would it be viable for a 1/72? I am afraid the rivet and details might get covered. Any advice, personal recommendations, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hobbyboss-82915-merkava-mk-iv--1012701 https://youtu.be/DVH-NUn8IY8

Hi all. I've just picked up a Tamiya 1/35 M1A2 SEP TUSK II (hurricane of acronyms there ). Was meant to be for Christmas but...I can't wait that long Anyway. I read over on Armorama - specifically this article, http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=50656&page=1- about adding anti-slip surfacing to Abrams kits that lack it. The substance mentioned, Rust-Oleum Terracotta spray, seems to do the job quite well. Homebase apparently stock it, but I wondered if anyone else had tried it. The article is from an American modeller, and while the stuff at Homebase matches the name, it isn't mentioned as being textured in the description, so I wonder if it is exactly the same. If it lacked texture it would obviously be a little pointless Has anyone else used it, either on a model or for its intended purpose? Edit: I've recently spotted some of that Tamiya Tarmac texture paint. Anyone know if that would be suitable anti-slip stuff, or would it be too thick? Cheers, Gaz.
