Nice models Signius, they remind me of the Snapdragon 6mm SF range.
It reminds me that I keep meaning to scratchbuild some scenery using that technique (and if I had the time) cast them in resin.
Another option I keep meaning to investigate (but have not had the time) is (and I can't remember the exact terms) is "vac-formed" plasticard structures. Basically a master is made and then a heated piece of plasticard is pulled over the master by a vacumn. Older gamers may remember Bellona used this technique as did GW with their craters back in the early 1990s.
Well back to the topic in question, here is my 6mm scratch build model - well not so much scratch-built, but more a kit-bash...

stormseer :
I do not know if it is available in the UK. I would assume yes. However, you know what they say about people who assume? ? Anyway, this is the only link I can think of that actually shows you what the stuff looks like. Although, you should not buy it here. You should be able to find it online cheaper. If you are unable to obtain any then, let me know and I'll get it for you.

Here is another. They make pretty much the same thing.

Thanks Signius, I'll have a trawl round the model shop in my local area to see if any of them stock it (or anything similar).

That is an intresting point. I been toying with the idea of putting reactive armor on some of heavy tanks. However, getting it to look right has proven extremely difficult. Any ideas on that?

I had toyed with that idea also. Use the sheet with the smallest squares available. Cut and file them to fit the part of the hull or turret you want to cover. ?Probably 2-3 squares long or wide and in some places maybe only one small square bit may do... ? ?This may be a bit challenging  !!!
