    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:

    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
    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.

        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:

                        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.
