Hi Mike, Siwi and PixelPusher,
Thanks a lot for comments.

Excellent wheels! For tyres like these, and their size, the sandwich method works best. For smaller wheels the coiling method is more suitable. In any case, I admire the preparational work you put in to first make a prototype and then move on to the real work. Must be taking a lot of time! But the learning part is something you wouldn't want to miss out on and that's probably the biggest fun of building paper models....

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks a lot for comments, RifleMan, Mike and Erik.

Yes, Erik, it takes longer. But I enjoy the process a lot. Trial&Errors and learnings. It makes me forget all those stresses (from work and life) and just focus on one thing. Somehow… at least for me … good for mental health

A little progress today
2x front, 2x rear and 1x spare

Those wheels look astonishing, Joon!
This jeep also in my to list, but from different publisher. I wanted more recent model.
And you are right. This hobby is for mental health and is a stress killer
Looking forward for you build!
