Hey guys thanks for the positive feedback ! You all sure are makin it enjoyable being here ! I had the tracka assembled and sitting on the side waiting to to be painted and weathered . i used the Tamiya set .  I like to assemble them with Testors liquid glue (pink label) and then wrap them around the running gear in one piece . After some painting and Mig pigments here they are .  |

Fine work, I like your extras such as the texturing and the decal trick. Looks mighty good from where I'm sitting.
Regards,
Mark

Fruils are probably worth the money thow , really . These tracks broke into 3 pieces while i was getting the rolling gear stuffed unto the axles last night . The hing surface is delicate and only held together with a thin glued surface . Spud , Andy and Steve thanks guys . Andy , they aint fake ......their plastic ! |

Clustered bench! Oh the horror for OCD modelers like me! LOL Now I will not be able to sleep well tonight...
I know the feeling... that's why I am hooked to Friuls now but $40 for those tracks... I might have to go back to plastic. 8-(
