Old Collingwood Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share #241 Posted March 21, 2021 19 minutes ago, Egilman said: Just make sure they are fully dry before "wiggling" them..... Another thing to consider, one thin coat as a base color and dry brush the rest.... you will avoid most of the paint sticking issues that way.... There is a lot of consideration given to washes but the issues with washes stem from their ability to flow into all the nooks and crannies, a good thing with fixed static parts not good with parts that are supposed to be flexible.... In the end, the overall flat coat will stiffen the tracks anyway, but you don't need stiff when your mounting them.... Good points brother. OC.

Canute Posted March 22, 2021 Share #242 Posted March 22, 2021 I think I will dry-brush steel onto the tracks, since they are already a sand color. The pads will be brushed a rubber black color.

Old Collingwood Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share #249 Posted March 23, 2021 Evening all, I continued on the track on the one side - I measured the runs so far against the wheels and worked out how many are needed to Fit - I counted Ten more links - so back on the template tool and Ten more were knocked out (quite easy once you have a rhythm going) I had to stop at that point as they can not be joined together as they need to slide in position then joined. So I decided to start the paint process - Instead of doing a washy paint all over first I decided to go the careful route of just picking out the links and side pieces with a sandy flat alum colour - this was carefully brushed on to the centre run then both edges on the inside, I will mix some more paint tomorrow. It will be a good detraction from worrying as our little pooch goes into the vets tomorrow to be neutered in the morning she is 4 so we feel its a good time as we do not want her having puppies and I understand it has plenty of health benefits for female dogs. We will be worried about our baby though.

Indeed Ken - I understand having the op done is supposed to benefit thier long term health, and we would never want her to have pups, ontop of that there is a wave of dog thefts in the Uk due to the price of them and also gangs steal them to have puppies where thay them make money from selling the pups - its a Huge concern over here.

I Manaaged a few hours on the bench this eve after get both of the ladies watered and fed - I countinued with the track - these have had a sandy/alum paint ot the liks - this seemed to take ages, after this was finished it was turn of the treads - again lots of tedious work with a couple of coats of Nato Black (almost a dark grey) - I still have the inner track treads to do.

Old Collingwood Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share #270 Posted March 26, 2021 Evening all, firstly we took or poorly princess to have her post op check up - all absolutely fine she is healing very well - next appointment next wed. This eve I was able to do a bit more on the tracks - I painted the inner treads with the same Nato Black then it was wash/weathering time - the idea is to make them look quite dusty from off and on road use, after I was able to feed it along the wheels then attach the last link before attaching the rear drive sprocket. I think it turned out ok - certainly dusty.
