slowly slogging my way through the track links. It's really not as bad as it sounds other than being a bit repetitious... if you've ever worked with Magic Tracks then you have a idea.
A little jig I made so both tracks end up uniform:
Adding links until one side is completed:
I definitely think I'll be including tracks on my EOD entry, though I want to make them much larger than this. It's going to be a monster - haha.

Adam, what's in the local water supply to give you insperation like this

? Nice tracks and it gives me too many ideas of my own, kinda like a song you get in your head and can not shut it off

any way as Murphy stated you and Hermon are keeping the insanity going.

It's funny you mention that because our local water supply has radium levels above accepted norms.

I drink bottled water though, so I can't blame that. Hermon and I have our own trucks going at the moment, but it's going to become a lot crazier once the campaign starts.

YES! Awesome. That color and painting/weathering makes it look like real steel plates welded together

Adam, I've decided the only way I can top your truck is to scatter actual body parts all over mine. Hmm........guess I'll go set some traps now.
