Since we last spoke…
When I built the MA T-54 I was not terribly satisfied with the wheels and running gear. So this time, being more prepared, I think the wheels and idler have come out splendidly. I put all of them together using a run of tracks above and below to make sure they all lined up correctly and were even. There is one wheel that looks a little bowed inward, but when I had it sitting on the track run, it was not visible. I painted and weathered the lower hull and wheels before glueing it all together.
The drive sprocket will still be a pain - I will glue it on when I add the tracks.
Speaking of tracks, I’ve completed one run of T-rex tracks (not sure how to link to the T-rex track thread). I’ve put a first coat of primer on them. They are easy to work with, but fragile. I don’t think they will handle much handling so to speak.
