I did this with the GZG resin vehicles -- I had some plastic bits &
pieces
left over from a model tank kit (the one I used to make the 25mm grav
tank). I cut the plastic bits & pieces into squares & rectangles, and
glued them onto the sides of the resin vehicle. Of course, this led the
more observant people to ask, "Why are there spare treads attached to
a Goliath Mk. II grav tank?" (Answer: Oops... I thought it looked cool
at the time... :)
