The tracks are done. Now I can move on to finishing the roadwheels and drive sprockets. Hopefully I will have those almost finished by the end of the week. Then the main armor parts.
After notching, cutting out, and glueing all the little pieces, I used a dark gray pastel chalk all over the treads to give some shadow depth in the corners. Then I took a very light rust colored chalk powder and brushed that between the "cleats", rubbed it in a little, then removed most of that color.
The last color applied was a VERY light dabbing of SNJ silver polish powder on the high parts of the cleats. This gives the appearance, maybe not completely accurate, but the appearance of a used track.
