The wheels


Mounting schemes.





The wheels will stay with a diameter of 64mm. They consist of a considerable number of parts. Here can be seen some, are missing the cube parts.





In the structure of the eight sides are glued parts that will be the basis of the floor.





After I glue tabs on all eight sides.





On these glue tabs is applied the central basis of the floor.





Then is glued the inner side part.





And then the outside.





Even more missing pieces that will now mount.

This is totally extraordinary, when I made wheels they looked more like square wheels than round

[Zé Reis]

Calinous, I would like to see what's wrong with your wheels but do not see images of a model made for you. So I can not give my opinion.

The construction of the wheels remains with the glue side pieces that will also cover the tracks.





Then the tracks are glued and covered with the earlier pieces.





And they are right now with this aspect.

And at last the cubes. The wire is the air valve.






Missing paint the rims and hubs, paste the axle, close the center of the cubes and then do a bit of weathering. But as I will not mount the wheels now, for longer stays as is.





Provisionally in the structure to a preview.
