The T-35 is finally on her road wheels.



Although, a simple suspension set-up. There is a lot of it.



Still the mud-guards to build up and fit.

Nice! They look like they could articulate across any terrain.

WOW! It looks good. How did you made the springs in suspension?

Finally got the courage to attempt the tracks. In the end they were straight forward.



Little blighters were all separate once cut from the mounting board.



Decided to make them up in sections. Seemed the easiest way to attempt it. Didn't know if I had enough links to attempt a slight 'sag' on the uppermost section. Access was difficult too, so didn't bother.



Work was delayed when someone wanted feeding.



The tracks were built up and painted in sections. First of all they were sprayed up in matt black. Then given a wash of light dirt, then light brown and finally dry brushed with a dark grey to hight light the raised sections



First section of tracks glued into place. Will leave overnight to properly dry.



Used a mobile phone to ensure tank is nice and level.

You're a better man than I for attempting individual links. They look good though!
