Your going to do me out of a job ! Great work Paul. To me this is what all the building is about.....those incredible end results caught on camera for ever, long after we are gone these images will be out there in the ether forever, well as long as human kind rely on the internet and tech in general.
I suggest that you get the good ones printed on photographic paper to keep, it's just to risky kept on a hard drive....Regards Phil.

Found some interesting T1 images on my hard drive. This is a short study of tracks in motion.

I think this image may have been messed with as the tracks in motion don't look quite right to me.

Lovely shot of a heavy Tiger 1, I have reproduced this effect of the track dust cloud, simply by injecting smoke over the top of the tracks from the standard smoker unit and letting the motion of the tracks pull it around.

Going on a road trip. " Do you think we have enough fuel guys" ? This T1 looks very well set up, the tracks are well adjusted all the road wheels are there, I wonder if it ever made it to the front? I can't quite make out what's going on with the track hanging on the front plate, it's as if there is a row of tracks behind the usual row, not ever seen that before.

Thanks Phil
Yes completely water tight, double o-rings on the track adjusters and return roller shafts, grease feeds on the suspension bushes with o-rings and oil filled final drives.
They are both good to a depth of the drivers visor and machine gun, still working to fix that.

The zinc coating on the track pins isn’t rusting up like my originals pins so a bit of dam mud should help.

Thanks Liam

Hi Liam,
I just have taken a look to your pictures. I realized, that the tracks are looking different to the original Armortek tracks. Did you put on another type of tracks?

Cheers Bodo
