Default Thick Tank Treads

I was looking randomly in teh Warhammer 40k rulebook and i noticed in the far back, more specificly the hardened veteran table in the vehicle section.

Basicly what it comes down to, and I've heard people do this before, is making your Leman Russ tanks with double treads. That is having double thick treads. This makes the tank look much more beefyer and more intimidating because it seems to have more power :P

Im sure it is as simple and taking two treads and glueing them together, and modeling. But can anyone offer advice or something?

Cheers,
Peter

if I were doing it, I would glue each peice of the identiacl tread section together so you get double thread section at the start. Then glue the double tread sections onto the leaman russ center chasis. Remeber not to glue the outside section (the part the sponsoons attach to) until you have placed all the treads on the center chasis. Once that is done, glue the outside part of the chasis onto the treads.

Does that help, or have I confused you?

No it makes perfect sense. But do you think that Landraider treads are big enough replace the leman russ treads or should I just use two treads
