Evolution of a track

I have issues. In this picture, starting from the lower right
and coming around clockwise, is the progression of my tracks. In 1, you see the original track
as printed. In picture 2, I had applied small amounts of glue to attempt to give some
shape to the track links. This just didn't do what I really was looking for. So on to another idea,
picture 3. Here, I had cut very small (.75mm) pieces of cardstock, and glued two of them in place,
then worked on some weathering of the track. I liked the weathering, but not the overall look of it.

So, on to number 4. This is where I am at, and it is a slow process. I printed a set of
track runs, and with six cuts on each part, I have gotten to the shape shown in white.



The final color appearance should be close to what you see in number 3's effort. They are still a little large, and I will try and trim them down a little thinner yet.
