Re: Shige's Latest

The netting is possibly what others commonly use. I think it's gauze bandage that's been 'un-picked' or 'loosened up' a little. Gauze is a pretty coarse weave to begin with. One could go further and add small strips of painted tape to simulate the fabric strips one sometimes sees too. As for the tracks, the do look good don't they? I think one of the major paint manufacturers makes a colour they call 'Track Colour' (original huh?). I've seen it used in magazines and with appropriate weathering it looks pretty good. When the time comes (soon) I will weather my tracks exactly the same way as the rest of the vehicle. The only difference is that the tracks are the only area that will show naked metal. That raises the concern that metal is easy to do but it can't be too 'bright'. Tracks weren't made of chrome after all.
