[:D][quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by trucker168 I bought a ho scale 60' bulkhead flat car and load, the car has places for straps to tie load down. Not to sure how to make the load look like it is tied down and not just glued on. I have tried what is known as snare wire it is thin enough but as soon as i go to tighten it so i looks thight not just hanging off of the thing the plastic snapps. How would i make the load look like it is tied down realistic and not snap the plastic on the sides? [/quote]The best thing is weathering, bury that car in the dirt in the back yard for a month, then go dig it up, weathering looks great, ala Malcom Furlow[:p][:D][:D][:D][:p]
