I know it is not a finished project but thought I would post an update at how far I have got with the half track. The first two are of the back resting on the chassis with most of the pieces fitted except some of the external bits which are quite delicate. The third is with the two front sides...

I just received some blanks this morning...and it may just be the cold weather...but they feel slightly damp. I won't know for sure until Ive measured them with a moisture meter...which Im just about to go and buy. However, it got me thinking...is there a way to dry blanks if they are too wet...
