A Building 1/35 scale Metal Tank Tracks Tutorial part 1/2

[heatedhonda1]

OMG! 1/35 thats small

NO reason to have functioning tracks on a STATIC model and the tracks are too fragile to be used on movable models anyways! -These track should only be bought from a point of having peace of mind as in "it´s real metal tracks"...ModelKasten (japan) produces plastic single pieces / movable tracks that works just as fine and look equally good when painted.....It´s basically a "purist problem" which ones to choose...

A very simple way to make the supplied wire VERY straight is simply to stretch it! Put one end in a vise and pull it firmly in a straight line away from the vise with a pair of pliers.

No vise? pull with a friend and 2 pairs of pliers!

No friends? Not my problem! By the way, that's how the brass wire got so straight. When it was originally made it was wound up tightly on a big spool.

they are look awsome i need quiet few of them for my models, they look very real, give great sogging efect

[Silnius]

what i do with these track is put them in laundry detergent and use a tooth brsh to wash them. let dry. then i put on Black n it, it is used alot with modellers for Fruilmodel tracks and acts as a great tough primer. then what i do is paint and weather and pigment or whatever you like. These tracks can take alot of abuse from enamel paints or sanpaper for revealing the metal sheen.

Besides, they contain lead!

[StormRisingOriginal]

I'm sure they do contain lead, that is why I recommend wearing gloves to handle them. Another alternative is plastic workable tracks.

You have to be rich to put Friulmodel tracks on every tank you build! I have two sets, a panzer 1 and 4 and I don't think i'll buy them again

[StormRisingOriginal]

The advantage is added weight to the model and fully functional links.

great video... haven't tried those tracks but they look good...

[StormRisingOriginal]

I recommend them for that extra touch of realism. I like to scratch away the paint and rust them in water for a super real look.

[brokencasket]

Personally I don't care for rusted tracks but should be interesting video...

[StormRisingOriginal]

They don't have to be rusted, Friulmodel tracks look great coated in "black4tracks" or dark gun metal paint.

[brokencasket]

A little expensive tho....I put a set on my Mobelwagen, nice video.

[StormRisingOriginal]

Yes, Friulmodel tracks on the pricy side. But your paying for high-detail and almost no flash (extra metal to trim off). Quality product, I like how they rust-up nice too. Soon I'll post a video tutorial on how to rust your own metal tracks.

[StormRisingOriginal]

Be sure to watch the second part of this tutorial. And please rate!
