Thought I'd do another model

Spent some time on the model today and I think I got some progress done. I know it doesn't look like much but believe it or not, milling the stock, cutting the pieces and drilling the 160, 3/32" holes and then drilling the 160, 1/8" holes took me 7 hours. I only had two pieces blow out so that's not bad.

Track pads. But why two different size holes for the connecting pins? The plot thickens.

Thought about this some more and maybe these aren't track pads. Maybe they're segments for a conveyor belt. But that doesn't answer the question why there are two different diameter holes.

So I wasn't happy with the depth of the cuts on these pieces for I deepened them by 1/32" and then finished off all the cutting of the pieces. I managed to get the track dry fit together and then dry fit the track assemblies together to make sure that it all fit together properly. There were a few minor adjustments that needed to be made but all in all I like the fit. I then took it all apart and started cutting the smaller pieces for the track. And that was 7 more hours.
