Aaron,
This is how I do individual track links :
Normal masking tape, pull off a strip that's equivalent to double the length of of the tank you're making. Join it up so you have a loop & stick this to your workbench so it's sticky-side up. You could use double-sided tape, but that can be too sticky.
Next there are 2 ways of proceeding. Firstly, you can lay the track links on the tape So they're interlocking & run a small amount of extra-thin cement into the gaps between the links. This is, for me, the quickest & easiest method but you need to be careful not to use too much cement.
Second way is to stick each link one by one, adding a dab of normal cement to each one. This method is slower & more fiddly.
I do enough to go from 3/4 of the track length to around either the drive sprocket or idler wheel.
Leave it for about 30 mins to harden slightly & then remove from the tape & it'll still be flexible enough to drape over the roadwheels to get a nice 'sag'. Do the same with the remaining length & join them once you're happy with how they sit on the wheels.
Hopefully you'll have great tracks!
Hope this helps
