What would be the workflow for assembling tracks that come in individual links like this?
I can't assemble first, paint them, and then put them around the wheels because they need to be glued at the exact angle and shape to fit around the wheels.
If I glue them on the wheels first and then paint, then I will get paint everywhere and mess up the paint on the wheels. There's no way I can paint that accurately around the wheels and close to the chassis.
My only idea is to assemble them on the wheels, shape them properly but leave them in two pieces, a top and a bottom half, and once they are a nice fit remove them, paint, and then glue them on. Would that work? Of course I'd have to be super careful to only get glue on the tracks and don't accidentally glue them on the wheels so I can't remove them for painting.
