Default Attaching Scale Accessories

Greetings everyone.

I'm in the final stages of an AX10 Scorpion to X-Trail/Honcho conversion and I'd like to add some scale accessories for the finishing touches. The usual stuff, shovel, axe, fire extinguisher, fire wood bundle, jerry can and perhaps some other goodies. What I need to know is the preferred method to attach said stuff to the back of my rig. Small zip ties, wire, scale bungees??

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Jim

Shoogoo or E6000, thin wire, zip ties, CA glue and in a few cases Velcro.

You can also use those plastic cable hangers/loops. I forget the name of them, but you can find them in bulk packs at your local hardware store. They're the same things people use for the hood hinges on a Wraith.
