Looking good bj, what did you do with the tracks in the end to hold them together

5 min epoxy spud, But its still not holding. I'm going to go with the black trick.

[spud]

i agree with norm, Get hold of some link tracks

 

[Big-John]

Thanks guys!

As long as these tracks will hold paint, I'm going to use them. I will use some small thread and tie them together. I'm sure I can hide the thread.

The link by link track from AFV club have a sink hole in every pad face, so that would require filling every link :-\

If I bought them ild snapp then return them

Well John it looks as if you are moving along rather nicely. ;D It appears like you have just about finished up the basic build and will be moving on into the painting. Keep up the great work!!

Nice build. Look forward to the paint getting shot on!

 

[Big-John]

Thanks guys!

Got the base color sprayed on this week end. I’m using Model Master Enamels on this one, so progress might slow down a little as I wait for layers to harden. Next up is to do some detail painting, and then spray on a clear coat in preparation for the decals.

This weeks update, Gloss coat and decals are on, Not real happy with neither of them. I didn’t see it until it was to late, but the gloss coat started clogging up my air brush and left lumpy spots on the model. Most of it is on the lower hull. I was planning on doing splashed mud on the lower hull, now I hope I can hide the lumpy spots with the mud.
