Use thin strips of lead foil. This is more flexible and easier to form than masking tape. I use the buckles from various 1/35th scale afv photoetch detail sets that include such things for vehicle strap tie downs. The Verlinden Sherman detail sheet has a bunch. Use stuporglue to glue it all together. There was an article in FSM within the last few years that covered this topic. Check your old issues. --Jesse
