    Hi all. Not being the type of a person to settle for something less than what I like I have decided to start the tracks from scratch. The current state that they are in does not please my eye and thus I am now back at the drawing board inspite of this decision endagering my projects timeline. I will be back as soon as there is some tangible progress. Regards: Shaun

    No troubles. Mate I would think that the best way would be to build every single sub assembly and then play around with dry fitting to see what would work best for you. Regards: Shaun

    Hi Francis. Let me clear it up. No vac forming and no 3d printing good old file and plastic card at work here. I am planning to get a 3d printer a bit later in the year and I vac form only aircraft canopies wheels etc. Regards: Shaun

    I might pop in with something from Afganistan or maybe the Iran Iraq conflict. It will however probably end up being only a figure or some such. Regards: Shaun

    You see what you did now? I have started to put out my grubby little fingers in search of one of those 3d printer thingies and must say that I thought my wife would kill me but she just sighed and said that if I feel that I need one then well I should just get it. So a happy little camper here. I will however first shop around a bit and then get one. Regards: Shaun

    Just a little word of reading waaaay to much. The front fenders on the real tank and also the rear could lift to avoid damage and facilitate cleaning. But in this case it may be so that you could thread your tracklinks. Great build so far mate. Regards: Shaun

    Thanks stix. I must get my uniform etc ready for work in the morning so doubt if I will be able to do a lot roday. I will however say this:I am easily distracted yesterday evening I got to thinking that I would like to try my hand at making a bit of stowage items and thought to give it a try. Well the first item that I then got started on was a large banged up: The handles is intentionally skewed there is still a bit of work to be done but I think the idea is there. Regards: Shaun

    Well first off thanks for theextended kindness guys. I have been doing a bit of work for today and this is where I'm at for now. And this is the actual reason for me trying this out: I will now start on the opposite side's links and then do the whole skeletonisation thing. As always all comments and critique is welcomed.
