[spud]

ya ive noticed teh enamell wash kills the glue on them ill be avoiding that in future.

should they sag more?

 

[Big-John]

I can play around with the sag, but they dont want to move to easy.

It's amazing how much the tracks add to a model when they are installed. 8)

A little more sag on that one side wouldn't hurt at all BJ but done break something in the process,I would just leave it as is before I would do that.

Very nice John , Tracks look good I wouldnt worry to much about the sag ,it looks fine ,if it was in motion the top run would be pulled tight anyhow

Chris.

 

[Big-John]

I got the other track to sag down a bit.

I’m getting further along this weekend that I thought I would. I was planning to paint all those tiny little track pads black. But after finding out that the late war tracks are all steel saved a bunch of time. I might just Get R done this week end.

Its still not done yet, but I wanted to see how it looked on a Diorama base I painted many years ago. It’s one of the “ready made just add paint” dioramas from Verlinden.

Nice scenery here. As for the sag - I glued my vynil tracks with superglue to the inner row of roadwheels.

 

[spud]

[Big-John]

Chris.

 

[Big-John]

[Big-John]

[Tony lee]

You're wasting you time with practice BJ,you should just do that kind of work for real buddy. 8)
