3 sets of tracks eh? Colour me interested  . Lovely work on the truck too. I felt like the dozer blade might be a tad too big, but your colour choices make it fit right in.

Wow, that's a solid conversion. A least I think it's a conversion, I'm not too up on current vehicle kits. Would you go over your process and what that big trakk is made from?

. Honestly most of this is plasticard. The ram is copper sheets hammered to shape with plasticard. The weapons are mainly ork and imperial parts from various places.
The wheels for the tracks are resin ones from somewhere. The tracks were the hardest to track down. I brought 3 sets and sent them all back cause theyou weren't beefy enough. I eventually found some the perfect size from Japan and amazingly they arrived in 5 days.

Ok thanks, was most interested int he tracks and track wheels (their manufacturer and model, to be more specific). This trakk's dozer blad eis lookingnasty! I'd consider bringing it slightly closer to the model itself though, there's lof of lost space there.

Great work, nice trukk! the grot looks awesome
I share your pain on tracks. It can be ridiculously hard to find some, and they hardly ever give measurements.
Are those made from a sort of plastic rubber?

Yeah I agree with the dozer blade needing bringing back, I just oculdnt face changing last night as i got most of the glue from the tracks on my fingers.
The tracks are from this ebay shop.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HENG-LONG-for-1-24-3808-3809-3816-RC-TANK-Replacement-Plastic-Track-x-1-PAIR/142653500430?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D4b32864c61714adf8ffed82338327bfe%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D142653500430%26itm%3D142653500430&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507
For the Material they are rubber and to be honest it kind of makes it easier to faff around with the shape, i dont have the patience for dealing with individual links.
As for the wheels i couldnt say, try searching for spares for tank models on ebay.

I think it llooks great! If I compare it to the previous one, this ones dozerblade has les blue on it, making it look less like a part of the whole (if that makes any sense). Might be what's bothering you?

I've been busy. Finishing painting started to drag but now I'm back to building a project I've been practicing a lot for. Battle wagon!
First off the big trakks / trucks are done

Battlewagons base is a lorry toy I found for £1 in a charity shop months ago. Been pondering how to build
[url=https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/978023-.html]  [
The base of the model is now down but I still have a lot of plasticard work to do.
