Well, I spent pretty much all bank holiday Monday trying to make a wheel and tyre for this thing - not the best results
I did manage to add the lifting hoops that poke through the bonnet
and the coils to the chassis and chassis to body tub
and some cushions to the bare seats
after a few failed attempts I finally managed to build this new wheel into the end of some aluminium tubing of the correct diameter
This was the best I could do - not the greatest but all other attempts were really bad
this was the starting point for the tyre - a couple of sections of tubing glued together
That was the easy bit - I then spent ages shaping it and trying to come up with some way of adding the tread blocks
Added little diamonds of micro strip but trying to get them consistent and looking good was impossible
Just couldn't get them looking convincing so decided to pinch the best of the tread sections from the kit wheels
sanded their width and then pared them down so that they would fit over the new tyre section I had constructed
covered the result in filler
and with the new wheel in place
Unfortunately now everything is sanded back they just look rubbish as the treads were never properly defined on the kit - tried cutting them in but that failed so back to the drawing board
This has ground to a halt unless I can come up with a better method
