Both of these sets of tracks are plastic so it's hard to follow my "usual" metal track weathering which is similar to your sadistic track abuse method Herr Dr.Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 4:06 pm I always rusted up tracks a bit, ran them on the concrete floor to make the cleats shine, and said "Boris Gudinov." Since these weathering products are made for static display, will the snow stay put if you run the Tiger?
The snow? Good question and I just checked now. When wet in the pot it's like white fluffy marshmallow with little white random bits. When dried it's similar to that acoustic foam paint they used to blow on apartment ceilings in the 70' & 80's. It dries pretty rock hard. But can be cracked and chipped.
I rotated all the track links before letting them dry and left the links as a loop on its side to resemble the tanks shape. I just went and bent all the tracks and ran the sprocket from end to end, all moves properly. Small bits of white broke off but 99% of the stuff I placed stayed put. As you said Herr Dr. these will not be runners more for display and pics but they can run.
Same goes with the muddy tracks but since there is less of the AK mud slapped on, there is easier movement.
No fear I have the metal tracks it came with, and will do the normal weathering to them as well. I was just curious what I could do with the plastic tracks since they were so gosh darned cheap. $3.99 per set.
I also still have another set of new plastic tracks I haven't messed with just in case.
