The rubber black application on all those interleaved roadwheels are going to aggravate a drinking problem I reckon.............or create one Mr HDP !!

That camouflage looks great. It's got that combination factory and field applied look to it. Weathered up as you describe will look righteous!

Been using E6000 to glue the 3D printed parts to my MDF houses because it sticks well to plastic and wood. I use that slightly rubbery black Loctite CA for roadwheels. Being black it hids any extra glue that oozes out.

On the 1st prototypes we actually printed seperate tyres in black tpu and glued them in place. In the end we actually resorted to ditching the tyres and went for solid wheels as they just were alot easier to setup and run. So yeah a bit tricky to paint the tyre, i suppose i could print a JIG to allow the user to rotate the wheel and paint the 'tyre' easier

I cheated a bit. When I post more pics you will probably figure out my weasely compromise.
