''Saint Ian'' strikes again it seems ..

I had the option of those tracks for a ''honey''(?) I built .... Spent an hour assembling about four parts.. Needless to say the rubber tracks ended up on the build

All in all this is coming together really nicely, are we still going to see it in a diorama??

Thanks Colin it is coming along at a slow pace at the moment but when the tracks are completed it should speed up a little, and yes it's still going to be a diorama/ water effect

It's a strange camouflage but I like it a lot, nice colours!

Nicely painted Ian, and those tracks look like a real project in themselves.

[papa 695]

Your not kidding Trey

Got all the tracks done and fitted now starting to get it all painted

I like this Ian, great detailing, however, for the amount and fiddly track work...is it slightly conceivable...just a tad...er...that maybe they be hidden too much to show off there excellence?

That's very nicely done so far Ian. I reckon Si's got a point though. All that work with individual track links when you can see so little of them. You'd be just as well off with 'link and length' tracks and it would save a lot of work. Yet another example of kit makers adding parts to make their parts list look more impressive.

[papa 695]

Yes I agree with both of you a little bit overkill on the tracks when your not going to see much of if any of them but it's what's in the kit

[Guest]

but it's what's in the kit

So there were no wrap round types included at all then Ian. ??

I personally think you've done a cracking job on this so far and am looking forward to the finish line.
