I would like to put some sacks on to my model, to look like grain or flour sacks, anyone have any idea where I might get a hold of such an item.

Hi there Mo, why dont you try making them yourself. Milleput is a good medium for this. I used to make the odd sandbag or two when I did the milatary stuff. When it is still maluable you can imprint with different size netting to get a lifelike surface. Other than that it could be looking through the add ons for the armour kits in 1/48BigGrin

Hi again Mo

Harty's right about the milliput, thats the easiest and cheapest way to get your sacks, other than that various manufacturers make sandbag sets, Tamiya make a 1/35 scale one but from memory that might be a little oversized so you'd be better sticking to the 1/48 like Harty said.

Best of Luck

Hi Mo just spotted this post sorry for delay but you could try the Hattons web site, it deals mainly with model trains but with the scales we are dealing with they will definitly have the right size of sacks you need.
Be great to see some pics if you get some.
