looks good so far Mark. I have built one Dragon Half track kit and still have a few in the stash. I remember having problems with the tracks, but I cant remember what was problem actually was. Sucks getting old.

It could be a cover for plugging some cable.

Shawn,
The issue is wedging the tracks. You basically have to attached to the two full runs (1 piece per side) over the suspension system. You do this without gluing in the sprocket because you have to have the teeth line up in a center hole. At least that is what I wrote in my instruction notes.

[Mark Aldrich]

Got the lower stuff assembled and painted this weekend. Hope I can get the track on this week.

[Shawn Ramsey]

The chassis is looking good Mark. Any updates?

Shawn

[Mark Aldrich]

Sorry, no updates. Between being in Lovell, Maine for the last two weeks and working on the Club Build. I haven't done anything new to the Halftrack. Oddball's Sherman will not make the cutoff of this Wednesday for the Club build either.

[Mark Aldrich]

Well,
This one will now not be finished. I was sitting down working on an X-wing for too long I guess and when I got up I became unbalanced and fell. I basically sat on the nose and destroyed it. I can not be repaired but would be fixed with a new built nose. It will take a while to find the parts or figure out which halftrack I can salvage.

Morning Mark

You are OK?

Nothing else damaged?

Take it easy, the pieces will all come together at sometime.

Ouch! I hope you're well Mark!

A shame about the halftrack... maybe turn it into a wreck, shot up and forgotten somewhere on the Sinai or Golan?

I am fine. I guess it was like moving too fast. Luckily, I have already found the sprues on Evilbay so It can be rebuilt.
