Panzer 1F tracks (resurrected)

[CharlieC]

Just to wind up the thread and to prove that a complete set of tracks can be built with this method. Here's the track set for the WAK Panzer IF.

The camera picked out a couple of places that need to be touched up.

Regards,

Thanks for posting this here, Charlie! One day I will put this to practice... Of course as slow as I build, it may add a couple of years to a project!

Thanks ! Nothing cannot stop me now

You've explained it very clearly, Charlie, but it still looks like magic to me!

Thanks for bringing this back up. It should be stickied somewhere.

Charlie,
Thanks for the step-by-step tutorial... I find this information very helpful.

By baker's paper, do you mean parchment paper (US version English)?

There was a bit of discussion about this in the original thread - by "baking paper" I mean the thin tough paper used for lining baking pans when you bake cakes, etc. In Australia it comes in a roll like Aluminium kitchen foil. There's also another baking product known as greaseproof paper - this has a wax coating - don't use this.

Thanks for clarifying that, thought that was what you meant and not wax paper which does work nice when you need a protective sheet that glue won't stick to.

It was good to be reminded of this very useful methodology today after reading Don Week's description of his string method for making small-scale tank tracks.

You sure have contributed a lot to military (especially AFV) history and paper modeling over the years, Charlie! Many tanks!
