Must admit that in the past, I've used cotton to tie the tracks into position for sag and lift - though that was mainly on the 1/72 scale

That's a good idea Gerry, mind imagine me trying to tie some cotton on a track would end up with me on the floor fighting the track and smashing the model.:smiling3:

Yep, depending on what you're using them for (and there's probably many more in different materials ;) )
I can see a nerd being born here

No, just that I've had to use them for many years - and you soon find out the ones not to use on thin paper, those that will hold a thick load manifest, etc. etc.

Gerry I had my eye on them for doing those tracks, so would be the thicker type, apparently up too 1.6mm !

Isn't too difficult - if you feed the cotton round the axle first, then out through the track, you can tie off on the outside & hide either under the track, or with weathering. ;)

Greetings all , good to see old members of the rabble and a new member making an appearance. If there's one thing about this forum it brings out the nerds in us, there's nothing like some banter to lighten the day.

Dude1 please consult with Mr Rivet Jones, he was last in charge of liquid refreshments, alcohol and other wise. Contact Mr Si Benson for inquiries re food.

Gerry,
I have used the same technique especially on German armour where they can be hidden behind the road wheels.
