This is the Dragon Tauch Panzer III ausf. H 1/35 OOB so far

I completed and painted the lower hull and did the indi links. This is the first time I've done indi links and was wondering what you all thought of my effort. #:-)






Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful :-)

Very nice indeed, Selrach. I like the realistic sag you've created. You are a braver man than I. I have a couple of DML kits I haven't started yet just because of those indi-link tracks. You inspire me to jump in and give them a try. Thank you.

Like the sag too, did you use the pencil lead technique I posted ages ago?

Thanks for the Input guys

Pencil lead method? Hadn't heard of that.. Could you share that with me?
The 2nd track I did came out better than the first. I had used too little glue at first and the track fell apart when I moved it to paint it. I used silver drybrushed over black..... Is the color ok? Or is there a better way to paint the tracks?

Herr von Selrach,

May I compliment on your first trial of Indi links, they looked great. And I like the way your tracks are painted, they looked nice too.

I know it's boring, but I have to agree, they look pretty good to me. I am doing a link and length track and am dreading it, so you give me confidence to give it a go. I liked the look of the silver drybrushing, I was going to try with a aluminium metalcote in the same way. Keep us posted of further developments.

Sel:

You are probably tired of hearing this, but these tracks look great, just great. The sag reminds me of actual photos, so in my humble opinion, you've hit the home run on these---pretty impressive for your first try at indi links.

This looks like its going to be a fabulous model when completed, and I look forward to more pics as you complete the build process. Great work pal!

Very nice job on those tracks....they can be very tedious to work with but the end result speaks volumes.
Keep us posted on progress through to completion.

Great job! The more you work with indy. link tracks the better it will get. Fantastic for a first attempt.
