Wow! What a way to return! Mighty impressive.

Re: mostrich's workshop
498 parts just for the tracks - man that commitment, either that or you should be committed!
Looking good though, and a nice choice of subject.

Re: mostrich's workshop
That is insanity! Sounds like each track link has seperate end connectors and guide teeth! That sounds too much like the real damned things…

Re: mostrich's workshop
It's a pain in the back, can't argue with you on that. But in all fairness I have to observe, that the kit comes with a jig that greatly helps with the assembly of the tracks. Cleaning the parts is a whole other story, though. 
Finished the pair today.

Bravo Torben! 
They may be a pain in the keester… but a bit lighter than the real things… 
Have fun!

Re: mostrich's workshop
Welcome back to the bench Torben! Brilliant work so far! However, those tracks are one major reason I love building 1/72 scale armor exclusively!
