Howdy from Texas where it is cold and I'm holed up in the Bunker ..... :eek:ldguy

For this campaign I'll be building a 1/35 Dragon Sd.Kfz. 250/1 'NEU' Armored Perrsonnel Carrier ..... My first venture into the Darkside ..... at the moment I'm restarting a build that got derailed awhile back.

And this part here is great for holding the Bits before you need them ..... I will need smaller tweezers .... :eek:ldguy
 
Thanks Folks .... For checking in Here .... I had started this build about 6 years ago and I asked a question about how to put these tracks together ..... I never did get a answer so, I sadly put it back in the box until I could build them on my own ..... One thing I really love about this Forum .... When you ask you receive answers ..... (My best Elvis Text) ..... Thank you ..... Thank You Very Much !!! :notworthy (y) :soldier
 
If that tape is to sticky, there are 2 kinds of scotch double sticky tape. One with a yellow label that is fairly tacky and one with a yellow and blue label that is about as tacky as a post-it note. I use those a lot when building.

Also that flow can dump a LOT of solvent if you aren't careful. ( and I do mean DUMP!! ) An old pointy paint brush is what I use on small stuff like those tracks.
 
Yes I do .... the glass tube thingy is more or less for gluing long vertical edges like building corners .... I can't control the out flow of the tube on the tracks so I ended up using CA on a piece of glass that Paul suggested .... I use .... it will be a long way to Tipperary :soldier :soldier :soldier ..... :eek:ldguy
 
Ok I'm checking in Here .... I made some progress on my tracks .....

Here's a close up of the Dragon tracks they are cast very well .... The Carpet monster nearly swallowed two of those little pads ..... :eek:ldguy :bat :fencing & won the battle .... this go around .... :soldier :eek:ldguy :soldier
 
Battle well Gerry, think you end up with some spares to feed the carpet monster. Looks good :soldier
 
Thanks MP & Luiz ..... the destructions don't give a link count .... On the color of this thing .... If It goes on my Eastern Front Dio ..... Panzer grey ..... or white ? ..... Don't think they would nave Yellow if located there .... But I guess they could have just transferred .....

Input ..... Input Need Input .... Gerry
