How to easily assemble the 1/35 tracks of the Gecko T54E1

I haven’t actually built them (yet), but they go together in the same way as MiniArt Lee/Sherman tracks, so I’ll refer you to my recent post about those in another thread :slight_smile: (Scroll past the photos of the tank to get to the part about the tracks.)

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I’ll try using the homemade wooden base and let you know.
Regards

I would add another picture of how I actually use the jig, but we still can’t upload photos :frowning:

Hi, and if I write you my email could you send me the additional photos?

Here it is, linked from a post I made about it on another forum:

What I do is first of all assemble one block with four end connectors. I then place an “inner” block half on the jig and place the first block on that, then put a second “inner” block half next to it. After that, put in two more end connectors on those two halves (you can see one connector in the photo) and glue an “outer” block half to the block that’s against the rest of the track. Then just repeat.

The number 6 I wrote on the block in the photo means this is the 60th link in the track. Much easier than having to keep counting the whole track :slight_smile:
