Here you go guys the next batch of pics!!! this is just the track sections assembled and a size checkthe first size check, to say the least!!!! so here we go!!!


now for a the tracks to fit i needed to make a half-link for each side. I did this by hitting thr forward section of a link off and saving the bar, I glued the bar to the back on link on each side and then finished the sub assemblely and set aside to dry so here is a pic of the finished half-links in place in the finnieshed tracks!!!

and the other sides half-link!!!
now for size compasisons for all who asked here you go!! first is a Marder III H

now a sherman!!

and finally a Marder III M!!!

well guys there you go!! track and size, it seems the need for a half-link is a common problem with dml kits, and a problem with all link and length tracks, the ease of making a half-Link is not a bother, its having to make them at all that bothers me!!!! but i ramble on enjoy guys!!! Stug

Very nice SteveStug, So you red prime the tracks before you glue them?

This thing is so big, I cannot imagine, how many bottles of paint will be used on it!!!! #:-)

Steve

Well that`s a friggin huge machine
look good those tracks It`s a while ago that I did separate tracks but yours look really good


keep us updated about the monster

SteveStug,

Nice to see you have updated the Karl progress. It's a huge monster. Did you paint it before glueing the parts together?
Nice job again that you have done. Keep us update with the latest progress.

Looing good Steve,

That beast is big, thanks for the size comparisons, really puts it into perspective.

Stugster

I guess this shows that "size does matter"

Looks, good and thanks for the pics.

Looking good sofar Stug.

But where can you park such beast #:-)

Stug,
Thanks for the frequent updates...
Sort of reminds me of the old "worktop" or the webcam of the 1/24 Mustang build.
Keep the images coming.

Mike

Good grief it is BIG. Is it going in a dio steve? How big would that have to be?

Great to see this in stages, keep them coming.

Roger

looking good Steve and as it's been said before I won't say anything about size

Here's something Dave doesn't hear that often, my wife said. "It's So Big!"

Come to think of it, I don't hear it that often either.

Rob

Tracks and a biiig gun. What's not to love. #:-)

That is one big Puppy. Looking good

Any pin marks on the inside? And I do like the way you keep your tools well painted to cut down on the Rust

SGT!!!! oops overspray!!!! there are pin maks on the links but i didn't remove them as final weathering will hide them!!! thanks guys stug
