Talking If i have learnt one thing...

It's to stay away from tracks and tubes... I can't grasp either! I have a new appreciation for those that build the beautiful models of tanks and planes i see on these pages.

Have a great day all.

Also amazed by what some do.......
My tracks are hand or computer drawn as a flat surface. Cutting out sections and sticking them together would be kinda cool....definate next on list. Hey....Perhaps add on page. Thanks for initiating the brain storm.....
Best,
Phillip

Ps: did the sturmpanzerwagen tank on downloads, kinda proud of simple but effective tracks and suspension. Came out looking good.

I use grass stems for small tubes.
They are painted to a matching color with acrylic paint.

My tank models are small (1/72 scale) so tracks usually are two strips of paper glued together (quite easy).
