These trailer wheels are slow going.

I used connecting tabs to do these inner wheel parts. I'll also have to do a bit of painting once they are installed.

Over a month in and this is all I have to show for it...

42 wheels: 2 spares and 20 tandems.

A bunch of extra parts too?

What a slog. Hope this is the worst part.

Finally something other than wheels to report.

Parts 1-12 of the trailer. Part 1 and 1a each get laminated. The laser cut set has parts they get laminated on, trouble is the laser cut parts are wrong and they were bent in my set. Therefore I had to go old school and breakout the .5 mm cardboard.

Also, I could find absolutely no Part 5 for the trailer. These are round disks that are where parts of the suspension mount. To address this, I used some of the leftover wheel parts of similar diameter. The first picture shows this.

It also shows an area needing paint which was done with yellow craft paint (lighter yellow area).

This is part [U]22[U] The part(s) are not labeled on the sheets, they are not marked for lamination and there are no laser cut pieces to go with them. Typical Angraf.
