Because the process is so tedious... I took a break and did something out of my norm and took pictures..
Pictures of the wheels on the tank to follow later...haven't finished all 12 yet...so you all will just have to be patient ;)

Just a FYI.... It has been brought to my attention that there are modellers that come here from another board to "STEAL" modelling techniques... take them back to their board and claim the idea as their own...not to cause any friction or anything... But I know this way of modding the wheels has never been done before... the idea to mount tamiya rubbers on the 21st century wheelsets came from Sassgrunt... and the technique for modding the Heng Long wheelset came from fynsdad

So Moochers as I shall refer to you.... speaking for myself... you can KISS MY RUDDY BUMM >:< @) >:< @)

YUP ... I don't mind when someone takes an idea for their tank...that's fine... it's what boards like these are created for...but when they take something... and don't thank or recognize whomever they took the idea from and claim it as their own...well...that's just juvenile to me ...no matters... they only cheat themselves ;)

In the Marine corps... we have a different saying... when the going gets tough.. It's time to KICK some ruddy bumm :D

Alpha,
These are labor intensive but as we know, when something is needed and can't be found to hand, we build. ;o) Excellent work, my friend.

Thanks Painless... yes ...we do build :haha: What held me back from doing these a couple of weeks ago was I didn't have a chance to get to the hardware store to get the screw washer and bolt to make the spindle ...let alone remember to have a wheel on hand to get the proper size
Suffice to say finished them all around midnight last... and will try to mount them later today...photos when I finish :D

Thanks again for the kind words Painless :thumbup:
