Jagdpanzer E-100 "kitbash" help

[Pociumbelul]

Hello there!

I am currently building a Jagdpanzer E-100 1/35 scale model and I wish to "kitbash" it into having a look similar to a skin from World of Tanks.
Unfortunately I was not able to find any industrial walkway or any industrial handrails that are 1/35 scale to put them around the casemate. I will leave some screenshots of what I would require.

Can anyone help me with some suggestions?

Cheers!

Hello! No, I have found it on google and I wish to replicate it.

Build the frame out of styrene rod .
Easiest way is to draw it out and lay that under some translucent parchment paper , wax paper or tracing paper held taught so you can see the drawing ( tape / thumbtacks ), then glue it up over that layout using thin solvent cement .

Add one of those PE mesh to the inside , bonded with super glue .

That sounds great, I shall acquire some styrene rods and I shall buy some mesh from the Hobby Link Japan. Thanks a bunch for the info and tips!

ABS rod works really well since it is less fragile at those small diameters -- you can solvent weld it the exact same way but you need dichloromethane for the solvent .
Like this -- > https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catag...ic-welder/FLX00007112/product.php?s=4&t=2&u=0
But you can get it off Amazon from other manufacturers , it will be labeled for solvent welding ABS .

Yup, will do. I will just wait for everything to arrive. Meanwhile, I will build another kit.
Thanks a whole bunch for the help!
