Hi,

building my first model in a couple of years. I was just wondering how you guys manage to paint magic track? Is there a way of assembling it and keeping it off the model to paint?

I built mine into two sections, an upper run and a lower run.. I attached the section of track for the idler to the upper run and the section for the drive to the lower.. So what I had was two section of tracks that resembled hooks.. I painted and weathered then like this, then installed and did the final gluing with super glue..

Hope it helps

Thanks. Bank holiday weekend here so I was hoping to get the trackes dealt with today and tomorrow.

Your tip sounds very do-able! Cheers.
