Sorry for not updating this but I've been a bit under the weather and haven'seen my bench the past few days. I did manage to get about 1/2 hour in last night . I tried to pick up where I left off....working on tracks. I've been doing tracks for three or four tanks and all are different. These range from Dragon magic tracks and DS, to Fruils. So that means there are resin and plastic workable tracks in the mix....    yeah that's a lot of tracks, escpecially for me. I will try to get some pics up of this mess. maybe even to a comparison type thing. |

Well I've been doing what I don't like the most about armor....tracks. I have several shelf queens that need tracks so I have been switching on and off between them all...and trying to build more kits Here is what has been sharing my bench. The DS tracks are on stand by incase they are needed. Some of the finished lengths have been set aside and not picced here.    Time for a break on the tracks......PTO GB or T-34 is next |

Thanks Spud and John.
yep it's quite a bit ey. Well i am taking a break from tracks now that I had an incident with the knife...then the razor saw....ouch. jabbed my finger with a new knife blade cleaning the AFV tracks, fiddly things they are. So I decided to prep some Tiger I burn wheels, and cut into my finger removing pour plugs.
So it's time for a break like spud has said. I will spend an hour or so on my PTO GB entry. Then back to the T-34/85

Slicing is one thing Spud, it heals clean. But when you cut with a fine tooth razor saw...ouch. Especially when cutting resin. I scrubbed the cut with soapy water to get the resin dust out, then clean with isopropal alc. Buuuuurrrrrn...((LOL)). I've done much worse at work with box cutters, broken tile, you name it. And most times through work gloves. $*** happens no matter.

LOL snapping tiles and having it cut open your palm is always good too eh. it's the odd shaped broken tiles that d more damage. I have one finger on each hand that at times ache and won't bend right anymore, from tile cuts.
ooooh hot metal, yep , know that feeling from working on hot extruders. Used to have lots of crescent shaped burns on my forearms from reaching over and getting burned on the bolt heads...LOL Worse is hot PE/PVC that sticks to your skin.
