Last night I accidentally broke the gun shield to one of the german anti tank guns in the open fire box set . Any ideas on what I should replace it with besides a green stuffed gun shield?


Thanks in advance!

Have you tried plastic card?

If it needs a total rebuild, I'd say styrene, as well. For small, simple shapes, it's far easier to cut them out of plasticard than a rolled out sheet of GS.

I am curious, though, as to just how you broke it that makes the shield itself irreparable. I mean, those are plastic kits, right? Did it freeze and shatter? Explode? If you didn't lose it, I would think a fix would be easier than a scratchbuilt replacement.
