Awesome thanks!! That helps sure hope my Tiger looks that good when I am done Wonder how he got that weathering on the tracks and wheels. I guess my confusion is that the laser cut tracks don't seem to have a place to put in pins to hold the links together so not I am not sure how they stay together..... Practice makes perfect right?

I just realised that the tracks from my previous post are not laser-cut. My apologies. Correction:

Ah, and one more thing - the pin placement. If you want to make moving tracks you'll have to drill the holes (the smaller diameter the better). I have no idea how it is being done, but it's sure that you need to strenghten the paper somehow. I read that people soak the elemets in glue.

Thanks! But here is my question, (and maybe we could move this to another thread) but... how do you keep the links together without them having a pin between each link, it just looks like when I go to cut them out they'll all fall apart?

For the weathering on the wheels I just used oil paint (Raw Umber) and as for the track I use Black oil paint mix with little Brown pastel.

Really nice looking tank. I hope my King Tiger turns out that good.
