Might have to find an even finer nylon, maybe fishing line?

Thanks guys.  Cracking tip :-bd
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Doesn't the paint crack off something that bendy?

Lemmey - "Wait until you see the LVTP-7! It's HUGE!"  I know, I've ridden in those plenty of times  ;)

But I'm still not sure about the WWII amtrack.  Either the first one is way too small or the second one is way too big.  I actually suspect a bit of both.  If you figure a 10mm figure is about equal to a 6 foot man, the Amtrack should be a little less than 10mm longer than the Pz III.  The first track is shorter than that, and the second track is longer than that...

In any case, I need to have three matching tracks, not one of one type and two of the other  :(

V/R,

Hello Jack

May be you could sell some of them, and buy "good" ones ?

Bizarrely, if you use acrylics, they don't.

Barbarian,

The US infantry in these photos is from Minifigs, though I do have Pendraken Vietnam-range US infantry that just need to be flocked, too.

V/R,
Jack
