Default RE: Abrams

Philipat -

I got it at Michael's, kinda like Ben Franklin, a craft/toy/hobby/framing store. It comes in 8 1/2 X 11 sheets just like normal computer printer paper. Itr's about 1/16" thick and comes in several colors, naturally I used clack to simulate the black rubber on the Abrams' wheels. The wheels on my Abrams are 3/4" wide so I simply marked off every 3/4s of an inch and cut with a paper cutter. These are long, but when I got to the point where the overlap started, I simply cut it off. Works like a charm to stengthen the wheels themselves by cushioning them, and gives the look I want too. I just looked and there is no name on the pieces I have, but I need to go to Michael's anyway tomorrow so I'll see if I can find you a name. Each sheet is about a dollar.
