Thanks, Karl, this really helped me.

Unfortunately I didn't read it until I had glued all the running gear together, but I've been able to work the tracks around the sprocket and wheels fine.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Thanks for the "thanks", G! Honestly, I appreciate hearing that it has helped you, or any other modelers. Smile

Given the realism of indy links over those durned "rubber bands" that have sadly seemed to be making a comeback, it makes me feel like this post is hopefully contributing to more modelers not being scared of them. I honestly feel like this is what led to the invention of those "DS" tracks that I despise so much. Maybe if more modelers don't shrink from doing indy tracks it might lead to more use of them over the DS alternative--at least that's my hope! Whistling...Big Smile

Glad to know that this helped you out a bit. Yes

Karl, thanks for putting this together!  I'm on my second armor build and I would much rather use the individual tracks instead of the "rubber bands" and this tutorial was very helpful in showing me how to assemble them.
