Eric, You've made me sit here and count them!! On the Tiger there are 64 links

Great work!  The street scene is amazing...

I learned a trick from Chris Moseley when it comes to the need for lots of tread links: You can put in an ordinary chain link (not the wide tread variant) between every two tread links: ##=##=##=##=##= That way, you can make treads that are (...)
