I wash them, then vallejo track primer. Never had a problem

Hi Andrew the way I do rubber band tracks first wash them in warm soapy water and a toothbrush then use wire wool on both sides of the track, I use a AK track primer then what ever colour you choose. Never had paint come off yet.

Pete,
Now that looks really pleasing to the eye, subtle and the metal edges come out as they should, great build.

Hi Mike that's what I was aiming for a subtle finish and now to over do it, for a change I'm actually pleased with the finish so thank you for a great comment.
Pete :thumb2: .

Hi John so I think you like it then, eventually I had to make one I was happy with, well almost the grill's let it down but as they say you learn from your mistakes, will try harder on the next one.
Pete.
Must try that. I've used Halfords plastic primer, but the paint still flakes off.
Very nice modelling Pete.
Pete
Nice build Pete, I like the 3 tone camo :thumb2:
As someone else said Pete, STOP putting your builds down, i would be delighted to have built that beauty :tongue-out::thumb2::tongue-out3::thumb2:

Hi Bob I'm not putting myself down I just consider myself an average model nothing special that's all.
Pete.

The group builds aren’t just for the above-average modellers among us, if you ask me, nor a contest where the best model at the end gets a prize — if they were, I certainly wouldn’t be posting in them, I’d leave that to the likes of @MikeC, @Neo, @scottie3158, etc. (other highly skilled modellers are available).
G
What are you going on about I never mentioned who can or can't enter GB I know it's not a contest or involves prizes it's for fun which at times you seem to drain from people's build by slagging off their work or the model they have bought or been given, you are a doom and gloom merchant, so in the future please please don't comment on any of my builds in the future thank you, once I've posted this I'm pressing that button ignore again.
If the management don't like this post I'm sorry and if you want me to go so be it.
Pete.
G
Cheers Steven pleased you like, thank you for poping in :thumb2:.
Pete.

WTF?!
No, seriously: WTF?!
Where have I been slagging off your builds or anything you’ve done, ever? Or, for that matter, anyone else’s.
I made that post earlier as an encouragement — you appear to say in the post I quoted there that your modeling skills aren’t good enough to enter a group build, and I was trying to say that that isn’t a barrier to participating (or else I wouldn’t do so myself — I share myself squarely among the ranks of average modellers).
Steady on chaps, let it drop.
We usually get these kind of posts round about Christmas when folks get up tight about prezzies etc. So can we stop this right now please. For the sake of peace and harmony, not to mention the other members, can we return to nice comments about the build?
Much obliged.
