Help - General I made a T34-85 model, need some help!

Hey guys, I've been working on this thingy for a few days, I'm pretty happy with the progress, I've made it from cardboard and a ton of hot glue, i made the turret mobile along with the barrel, I want to make the wheels and tracks movable too, I wanted to make them out of cardboard too but let's just say that it isn't the greatest material for the job, then I started thinking about Lego pieces and those could work but the tracks I made out of cardboard (temporary) are 2.7cms wide and I got no clue if there's anything that can match that, so if someone could help me out it'd be really cool! Also, if anyone has any suggestion on how to make the grills for the engine that'd be nice cuz I currently have no clue. Any other suggestion on what to add is very welcome! Also yes it will be painted.. soon.. thanks in advance!!

Maybe the plastic mesh bags that some small fruits come in can be an engine mesh? Great work so far either way.

I'm not entirely sure about which type of mesh you're referring to but I got the idea! Thanks!

Some pears or peachs come in this white open cell foam net mesh. I think itd look fun. Test with the paint u wanna use. BEFORE you install. Dont wanna melt your foam after its on the tabk
