Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 2, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2019 You maniacs got me all looking at service vehicles. I did a trade for a couple... Then this.. with a hedge trimmer attachment for keeping your lawn looking neat and tidy. But I’m just NOT a fan of rubber band tracks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Ernie, I think you need to get a Scammell: There's a wrecker version too. I'm going to give it a shot after the Jagdpanther. As for the M10, I built one years ago. It's a pretty good kit. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the rubberband tracks for the M-10 though. I might look for options, possibly metal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might look for options, possibly metal? I used Fruil metal tracks on one, ModelKasten on another and AFV Club's plastic tracks on a couple more. They all have pros and cons. Modelkasten are the hardest to put together as each link is 8 parts (9 if you're using the duck bills). Be ready for a padded room by the time you're done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl, I have a hard enough time building 40 bombs for an A-6 or A-7, so I’d certainly blow an artery working on those metal tracks. Maybe a nice, safe 1/16 T-34 instead and stay away from treaded things on this GB? A treadhead I am not... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick a wire through them and cut it to length. No glue needed. Or there's this option:. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302949609913 Fully assembled metal tracks. I haven't tried them yet but I am tempted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magic Tracks on the build I'm considering are less than a centimetre long, and there's 41 links to assemble each side. My plan would be; pour a large glass of red Wine, squirt some Super glue randomly on the Worktop, and throw the whole lot up in the air like the Asparagus Clairvoyant does. Can't come out much worse surely! Are those for a halftrack? I did both sides of a set for a 251 in about three hours and managed to keep them workable. I like Magic Tracks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least there's not cleanup required (I presume.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapperSix Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I fear some of this might be on me. I had mentioned elongating the build and I would then offer a prize for said extension. While my build still awaits completion, I am unaware of any other incomplete, participating builds. Should this be the case ( I have no dog in this fight), may I suggest an alternate group build to which my promised award can be applied. For the exact type of award an admin can contact me in this regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 My marder was “almost” finished, basically, I just need to finish final assembly and weathering, but I definitely didn’t finish on time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
