Tamiya SU-76M Still Scrambling
Thank you, my friends! Got to work early this morning despite feeling horrible with this cold I have come down with.
I wanted to get some primer down, here's what that looks like.
The Archer welds may be a little too precise, but we're going with them.
The tracks are mostly individual links, each with two attachment points that require attention. I cut off 34 links and set to work.
The track attachment points are kind of small so take care to align them squarely to each other.
Once the tracks are dry fit, I used some Testor's Liquid Cement to glue them up. I waited 10 minutes, then removed the run from the tape and formed them over the kit supplied jig. You have to be careful that the glue is set enough so it doesn't adhere to the jig.
hmy: That would be bad juju. :cheer:
I let it sit for a few minutes, then checked to make sure it would release. The second run went off without a hitch.
While waiting on the tracks and primer to dry, I moved to the sprockets.

No, no, no! Not THAT Sprockets, these...
I used AK 086 Dark Steel pigment and a cotton swab to add the polished steel highlights. These pigments are really magic powder, they impart a realistic worn metal look with very little effort.
The one on the right has not been treated.
Return rollers.
That's where we are at lunch break, more to come. Thanks for coming by.
