GHonanie Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Here is my OOTB 1/35 Italeri LVT(A)-1. It was weathered with MIG pigments and painted with MM enamels.
GHonanie Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Also still trying to figure out the photo thing, need help.
Mark Aldrich Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Ask away....I use photo bucket and the neat thing about it is that between them and IPMS it resizes the photos for me. Check out my Beep in open Discussion National Model Day. Real simple site to use. By the way the LVT looks great!
GHonanie Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Ok better pics. The right water defector broke off after a contest and have yet to reweather it.
MBrzezicki Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Are those the kit tracks? If so did you do anything special to them? I've got one of those kits but haven't really done anything with it as being infected with a bad case of AMS the kit tracks have stopped me from working on it. Looks great!!

I've got one of those kits but haven't really done anything with it as being infected with a bad case of AMS the kit tracks have stopped me from working on it. Looks great!! Soaked them in hot(hot enough not to burn you) water for a couple seconds, then carefully wrapped them around the sprockets and wheels, then held them 'til they cooled. Mark, looked around forum 'til I found which link to use copy/paste from photobucket.
GHonanie Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks y'all, will post more pics of my other projects when they get done.
JMorgan Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Soaked them in hot(hot enough not to burn you) water for a couple seconds, then carefully wrapped them around the sprockets and wheels, then held them 'til they cooled. I did the same thing on my tracks. It works great. Just curious, did you get this hint from the FSM forum? I also stapled the ends of the tracks together for better strength. -J
GHonanie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Posted June 23, 2009 JMorgan, Nah, just tried it as I've also worked with resin tracks, thought the same thing would work and it did, I did the heat thing and super glue, then held my breath. came out just fine.
