I second PattonCommander's vote for Build-a-Rama. If you want to go a bit further, you might check out eBay or other retailers for Verlinden weapons and supplies sets. Ihave a few, and some of the super-rare Kirin ones, and for the most part, they scale well with Tamiyas ('cept the .50 cal which is huge compared to Tamiya!)

If you wanna take a crack at home-made sandbags, I could mail a few of the ones I got from Germany to you as an example of how to DIY... as for fabric for DIY on duffels, tarps, sandbags, look for whats called 'Flour or sugar sacking. I could send ya a sizable hunk of this too, as my sis finally was finished with her curtains, and I've got square ~metres~ of the stuff...

For those who MAY be interested... I'm wondering if there is interest for fill-em-yourself sandbags, duffels, and roll-em-yourself tarps, tents, and related stuff. With this much material, I can almost custom-dye this aftert cutting and hemming it to size. PM me if you would be interested... wanna know if its worth buying one of those Singer pocket-stitcher/hemming machines.
