I had a feeling that i would need quite a few track pieces so i opted to make resin casts rather than reprint them over and over again, if anybody is interested in making rubber moulds and re casting in resin i can recommend DWR plastics in the UK, great products and relatively cheap.

I took the casts and mounted them on some foam board, than added some printed edging, once everything was assembled i gave it a heavy spray of light and dark silver then a light mist of rust paint.I took the casts and mounted them on some foam board, than added some printed edging, once everything was assembled i gave it a heavy spray of light and dark silver then a light mist of rust paint.

I repeated the process again to make a second track which would spread across the board, i will probably do this one more to get a really long track... but for now here is some Orlocks ambushed by soime Van Saar.... industry stops for nothing... not even a firefight.I repeated the process again to make a second track which would spread across the board, i will probably do this one more to get a really long track... but for now here is some Orlocks ambushed by soime Van Saar.... industry stops for nothing... not even a firefight.
