The thing about this method is it required no jig or special tools and was relatively fast. I have not done much in the way of WW1 planes yet, but this method worked good for making a near indestructible wheel, even with an impatient 5 year old breathing down my neck. I think some one with more skill than I could have used this method (or any other method) to make a much nicer wheel, but I made my little one happy. Now if I can only do two more to match (the bike has a side car).

I picked up a really nice paper model of a spoked wheel convertable a few years ago. And the directions demonstrated a similar technique for creating the spokes for the wheels. This was the VERY FIRST paper model I'd ever attempted, and I was impressed with how simple, really the idea was.
Frankly, I'd like to see this used to create the wheels on Steven Marshals wonderful Czar Tank model. David

Thanks
Thanks for the very useful article. I am more of a plastic modeller and have just started one of the Inpact Bleriot kits from the 60s and found the clear plastic wheels to be missing. The thread and card spoked wheels you have described should solve my problem as I don't want to have to use the incredibly fiddly ones with PE spokes.
