Looks interesting. What kind of metal are they made from - hopefully not white or soft metal. Are they cast or 3D printed?

Most definitely or Panther tracks.

The keyrings are casted from a lead-free zinc alloy, like my other workable tracks for RC tanks. I think, the Panther and Tiger tracks would be a bit too big for keyring in scale 1/8...

Assuming that the key ring was of normal size I've got to tell you that a track link for a Tiger, being a meter in width, would be quite the pocketful in this scale. Think short baton. Yup.

Not really, the link is in 1/8 scale.

Well, not sure but I think the track link might be about 12 or so centimeters long, which leads to an update on the old Mae West line: "Is that a King Tiger track link in your pocket or are you just glad to see me..." I'd find it awkward.
