Thanks Bryan! :D

In the meantime the T-60 will suffice.... :roll:

I've pondered the question of figures, here's what I came up with :roll:

Nice work on this Philipp. The Tamiya tape asbestos lagging comes out fine after a layer of paint, I did the same on my Tortoise build. ;)

Two rather unpleasand experiences later the tracks are on:

While they look good the assembly is a nightmare. Most links don't snap together easy but come apart at the slightest hint of a touch. Even lining them up to glue them together was a challenge. Separate track pins would have been a major improvement. Also there are a lot less than the 84 links as indicated, more like 78 or 79.

Sorry for your frustrations but they look really nice.

The doggy looks like a nice way to add some interest and humor.m

It must be that style of track because I had a nightmare of a time with the HB T-40 track. The instructions were way off on the count there too. Looks like it's MasterClub if I ever tackle the T-60. :lol:

Thanks again Bryan! :)

Seems like the T-60 has yet another style of tracks where they don't even pretend to be workable any more.

If all goes well I can throw on some primer in the next few days.

Hope you get the AB out soon ;)

I missed out today as it rained so I couldn't run a power cable to the garage :evil:

Thank you Steve :) For something named Chaos Black it makes a fairly clean surface :lol:

I had planned to get some green on today but of course things took a different course. Maybe tomorrow....?

Sounds like you need a weatherproof extension cord?
