Looking well though I could not be bothered putting tracks together one link at a time.

Coming along really well mate. If you haven't glued the tracks on then you can get a bit more sag on the top photo by getting the track a little tighter in on the sprocket

Hi Andy, being completely unable to cope with those single and section tracks found in most kits these are easy and if your mad like I'm relaxing :smiling3:

Steve, thanks, good idea. I will try that when the final fit takes place, adding more links and they looked too loose. :thumb2:

Here again, things have been very slow , not had much mo jo what with the recent beautiful weather and finding other jobs that needed doing.

Managed to get the tracks on a couple of days ago, Christine had to do the first one, I just couldn't find any depth of field. Think a long break had reverted my depth perception.
Soon managed the second, well multiple attempts to be trueful, much cursing:nerd: ******** AND managed to spear my finger several times.:sad:.

However I think the result was worth it

Thats as tight as they would go , think they look ok ?

Next was the addition of snow on the tracks, looked up photos on the web to check.

The slight shine is the PI & S wash with some snow powder sprinkled on.

Today I did the other side and fitted some rifle slings and a strap to a gas mask container.

C& C Welcome.

Thanks for looking in.
John.

I always get my Mrs's to help me put in that last pin on the tracks as well. :tears-of-joy: :smiling5: :thumb2: .

Feeling very cold again. A very nice bit of sag on the tracks.

Hopefully your next build will be set in the Pacific theatre of war:thumb2::cool:

The tracks and the snow-job look great John. I also find that I have to give my eyes time to re-adjust after a time away from the bench.

John,
The tracks look great to me. Get a shiver when you look at it.
