I tried to buildt the sprocket wheels. As Basic i used the Panzer IV Wheels. First i put in there Apoxie. Than i put this at my engine lathe ( ? ) Damn, don´t know the right word for this tool, hope you know what i mean.

Image

At least i drilled the holes in there

Image

Not 100% correctly, but much better than Panzer IV Wheels

Hello Manuel, Very impressive work and you site is very interesting. Do you have a link to the punch and Die set you used to make the hex heads?
