Great job on the track links and weathering the blade! Tracks are the particular reason why I have never attempted any armor builds in card stock. 😬

good evening
the D9R kit requires 43 links on the tracks 42 is to tight and 43 to loose, the looseness was solved by a simple solution i read about at the time in 2013 by cutting the wheel casing in 1/2 and putting a sliding tube in to enable the two halves to be moved in or out
each link is made up of three parts,
this was built up using pva glue and then the track was put on top with extra thin

Kevin got a reaction from FrankWouts in HMS Winchelsea - FINISHED - 1764 - by Chuck (1/4" scale)
until now i never gave a thought of how the cat head was secured as you say normally just an afterthought,

Good evening everyone
as i mentioned earlier, to proceed with the Bluebell build, i needed to get my airbrushing up to speed, the other day i thought i had made leaps and bounds, today no such luck
eventually i kind of made it work, but after lots of messing about and 3 brush strips
it maybe down to old paint, this primer is over 10 years old, also it could be the AB needles they do look bent, so i took the hit and bought another brush from Amazon, should be here tomorrow, along with new paints and a replacement coolant vent PE set
i did however get some primer of most of the build

i abandoned this build back in 2015, as i just could not airbrush
anyway today i taught myself to do it and got a satisfactory result, time after time, so this is on the table for now as i plan to practise and hopefully get better to then complete the HMS Bluebell and ready for the next big build hopefully starting in the new year,
