Back in the saddle again....All theese vacations......

Some progress on the wheels and I made one of the drivewheels.

I'll come back to the construction of the drivewheel another day if there are some interest to see the construction.

Here are the pics.

As you can see I added a lot of nuts to the hub and the rim.I have not decided yet if I put nuts onto the "unvisible" sides yet....



Now I'm onto the rest of the roadwheels.....

The detail on that drivewheel is absolutely amazing! It never fails to amaze me just what card modelling construction techniques can achieve.

The nuts look absolutely superb and I'm not sure whether I would have the patience to put them where you can see them never mind where you can't!!

Great job as always Johnny.

Hello guys!

Today I finished the roadwheels.



I had 3 more swingarms to make on the left side.I have reinforced the hollow tube construction with a 3mm wooden rod to be sure they can stand the handeling without breaking.....



I also made a part.....



I dont know what this part is, but it belongs to the rear part of the right mudguard.I guess it's some kind of tool,maybe a donkraft or something.

Looks a bit like the very old pump up fire extinguishers?

Some minor adjustments are needed,but I wait with that until the tracks are ready to go in :smiling3:

The rear wheels was a bit complicated construction containing a lot of parts.

And since I know you all loves wheels,just as me!! I made a step by step report....

First lets take a look at the drawing.Ans as we can see it's a lot of parts involved.



First step was to make the rear side.It was made of a 0,5mm bottom plate,a center hub, and two coned pieces coned each way.



The triangles was glued to the lower cone and the hub.

Then I made the cone for the front side arrangement



Then I added the ring with the nuts to the rear side.



The cone was glued to the front side



And the nuts was added to the rear side



So came the time to add the supporters for the outer ring on the front side



All 6 supporters added



Then I had to put on the paperstrip and the ring to hold the coned front part in place



The outer part was added to get the distance from the rear ring correct for the dimesnsion on the outer coned part.



The coned outer ring is in place



A lot of tiny triangles was to be added to the outer coned sides



And when all triangles and nuts are added we have a wheel



I painted the part that will be in contact with the tracks with "polished steel" paint



The wheels put loosely on for an impression of how it will look.

There's more parts in a wheel than there are in most plastic kits!!

Working on the detailing really takes some time...

Here is what I got done last nightshift.

Some of the tools and one of the visors



A bulbe on the "Hood"



Some tools on the opposite side



I got the last hinges at the rear end in place, and painted the holders for the wire

Click to expand...
Everything is available over there :smiling3:

Had to take a break from details......and do some trackwork :smiling3:

Here we see the diferent parts of the tracks.



I put together half a side and applied a combo of panzergrey and rust to the links.I will add some more polished metal on the pattern later.
