Chain tracks?!

["WJ" <WJ-at-vdtogt.nl>]

Guys, I am just wondering: I started on the tracks of my next tank, and I
plan on building the tracks bike-chain style.

When I use rivets to attach the metal strips, my Chain looses all
flexibility, the popnail pushes against the next link of the chain,
holding it in place.  When I looked at the how-to article again, I saw the
rivets on the picture used from the inside out, while I do it the other
way around.

Would this make a difference for the flexibility of the chain?
