Nice job so far
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.
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 modelI'm given to understand that some of you masochists actually enjoy doing these things.
Hey Tim, may I have one too ? Please ? Pretty Please ? If you pour me two then I'll build those tracks for you ?You don't need to tell me twice.

Dan I'll get your name straight once I start drinkingIt's a deal.
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!Work on other things in between them, just doing a few at a time Dan.

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.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
No problem Rob.Dan I'll get your name straight once I start drinking
Hi Dan
Tracks, individual links - not the most exciting part of the hobby. It's a great feeling when it's done.
