One of the best Tamiya kits I have built.
Your one is coming on nice.

Hi Dan
Looking good. Always nice to get the wheels all sorted.

Looking very good Dan
I'm given to understand that some of you masochists actually enjoy doing these things. The only thing therapeutic about them is I'll need therapy when I'm done.
I roughed up & removed chunks from the rubber blocks, only another 89 links to go....

Work on other things in between them, just doing a few at a time Dan. It minimises the boredom factor and somehow makes the work go by faster.
You don't need to tell me twice.

I wouldn’t go that far
But looking at your photo, one tip I can give you is to first remove and clean up all the track parts from the sprues, putting the various types of parts in different containers, and only then assemble them. This will speed up assembly because you don’t need to go back and forth between different tasks, which slows you down. Then use the bicycle racer’s mentality of “mind on zero, gaze on infinity” to assemble links until you get bored, in between working on other parts of the model Hey Tim, may I have one too ? Please ? Pretty Please ? If you pour me two then I'll build those tracks for you ?
Dan I'll get your name straight once I start drinking
Hi Dan I dont usualy work with this large scale stuff and can't quite see from the photo but would it not be possible to glue the blocks to the links whilst links still fixed to the sprue there only seems to be two small attachment gates to each link ,I'd nick through them with the tip of a scaple blade should come away clean enough to not even worry about any clean up. Just a thought. Dave
Got agree with that. Needed 90ish for each side of my Pz II, doing then in batches of 10 seemed to break it up a bit and I never lost count in between sessions as long as I did 10 at a time!
Hi Dave. You're right, or at least to a degree. The blocks hold the links together so I can't glue them all on but I could leave one of each pair of links on the sprue to reduce fiddliness. Thanks for that.
No problem Rob.
Hi Dan
Tracks, individual links - not the most exciting part of the hobby. It's a great feeling when it's done.

A bit like banging your head against a wall, nice when it stops ?
In all fairness I'm not that upset about doing them. As has been said, once you've got a bit of a routine going it's ok.
