Finally got the front wheel assembled, a lot of work but I think it looks pretty good.

Now I just need to do the same again for the rear.

That looks great - the spokes appear to be pretty much in scale....

Fantastic result Andy

Nice one Andy. How long to do that one wheel please ?

[Ian M]

That looks excellent Andy. Who would think that an Plastic OOB wheel could look so good.

[Mickc1440]

Wow Andy all the work certainly paid off

[outrunner]

Thanks very much for the positive comments guys. John, as to how long it took I have no idea but it took me a while as hand painting the spokes was quite a tedious task. The wheel is not done yet as there are the discs and ABS ring still to paint and fit and that involves about another dozen parts!

Not been doing much modelling of late been spending time out on the bike and today I felt like s**** after getting 2 jags yesterday. One was a covid booster and the other was for pneumonia so I blame them although I have had quite few since this all started and never been up or down.
Anyway, I got the rear wheel finished.


I may have to touch up a few spokes but other than that I am happy with it.

Those wheels are a model in themselves. Really nicely done.

[simontie]

Looks amazing

[JR]

Yes agree with Jim, looking real as well .

[outrunner]

Finally got both wheels finished, probably the most time consuming part of the build and the picture below will give some sense of the scale of this model.
