You put those tracks together pretty fast Monica! 

 

[monica]

ta Bob,I real ,don,t mind doing them,and can do them quite fast,


but some times,using the brush with the Tamiya thin,you get a bit too,much glue on,and Ian saw me the glue,looper


that I think would work a lot better,so must give it a try,

thank you Ian,

Looking good Monica. I have often thought about doing something with tracks but when I see all those bits on the sprue......EEEK! Are they difficult to put together?

 

[monica]

well 3/4 of the tracks on,once glue has set,will put in the last bottom,bits of the track,


and have blocked in the colors on the figures also,

[Ian M]

Coming along very nicely Moni. 

 

[monica]

as the top tracks are set,I,can put on the last few bottom,bits of track,and once stuck,


will add in the last few bits,as I always make the bottom part a little shorter,to be able to get then right,

not real after a couple of times doing them,you work out a way that suits you,and that works well,


I cut them off into two sets,then,use a jig with a straight edge ,workout which way they clip together,and start,by,placing them onto,


masking tape ,hold down by double sided tape, 9_9
