Steve I have no other pic's than these - Once you're at pic' 7 - it's about done .................. the rear rim is glued on and then the whole is just sprayed your chosen colour. In this instance I used an Auto' acrylic (Cream), this explains why it looks a bit goopy in some of the "finished shots". I have an airbrush now and this would add a lot of finesse to the project. The whole thing was completed with Car aerosol paints and some detail added with Humbrol enamels .... Real Oldschool, all hand tools and a household drill for a lathe so one must allow for this when standing in judgement. I kind of liked those days - before the internet was there to tell you that every decision you made was wrong or ludicrous ............ or perhaps that's just me?? (he says smiling).

@Andi... Thanks for the extra info, I guess you then trimmed the wire once glue dried.
It's a good method, I've built spoke wheels myself in the past, but never using the kits styrene originals...
So I was interested in how YOU finished these off. Many thanks👍🙂

Holy Moly this is a very nice modelmaking! The idea and implementation of the spoke wheels is great. Very well done!

absolutely fantastic. is it fishing line or something else. does it hold the weight of the model without any problem?
I did something like that (less spokes for sure), for a 1/12 bike but i did use very thin steel wire, mostly to avoid painting it afterwards. that was maybe an overkill in regards to strength 😛

Album info
A brief album containing a pictorial of how I went about "spoking" the wheels - Warning: Oldschool with basic hand tools.
And I include a few finished pic's too - more to save opening another album really.
