Hello my name is Noah I started building models about a year ago but nothing more than poor hand brushed plastic death traps of models. I recently invested in an airbrush and compressor and have completed my first two models that I can proudly display in my mind as not crap. I joined this forum hoping to learn more about modeling in general the basic dos and don'ts and pick up the ocassional skill along the way. I attached the two completed kits they were 1/72 Dragon Intial Production Tiger I and 1/35 Tamiya Pz II ausf f/g I would love feedback especially on better ways to get tracks on that is one place I really struggled.
Thanks Noah

to ISM, Noah!!

Great work on the IP Tiger and Panzer 2!

Not real sure if there is a right/wrong way to put tracks on; lately I've been assembling the running gear but leaving the drive sprocket off, then once the tracks are painted and weathered, I hook one end on the idler wheel and the other end on the loose drive sprocket's teeth, add glue (if needed) and gently maneuver the sprocket into final position.

I hope this helped!
