Exclamation Wheels

The wheels were made for all 3 Yak's I am building and here are the steps as shown in my Yak 30 thread
http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/667777-post38.html

I used a circle cutter on card stock and cut out multiple circles

Stack the disks to width and glue to each other.

Drill a hole in the center, mount on my mini lathe and using sanding sticks, sand the wheels to shape.

ready for painting by inserting a squashed tooth pick to be used as a spindle and then paint them all

glue the hubs in place.

A note:
this is my preferred method of making wheels, and there are others
