Thanks to everyone leaving comments in this thread. I bought laser cut parts from the GPM website (Polish) in the "Accesories". When painting I always try to paint all parts which are in the same colour at the same time. But yes, I do paint as I go

those wheels look awesome, can't wait to see them painted. I wish I knew about those treads before I cut the treads for my crane, i'll check out the GPM site to see if there's any other stuff I can use later on, I'm currently looking for a good source for laser cut bolt heads...

Thanks for the information on the treads and painting. What a great build. Does anyone know what it costs for shippng from GPM to the US?

Thank you all for kind words

Rixtoys, I'm sure that if you email GPM they will be happy to help you

I started to make wheel arch. The one in the original kit was too simple, so I decided to upgrade it

Here it is:

incredible !!!

That's some pretty impressive stuff. I looked on the GPM website but couldn't find those treads anywhere, also, are those laser-cut bolts on the wheel hub or did you cut them yourself?

Hiob did you sand the edges of the tires? How did you keep them smooth ? did you use some filler ?

Thank you for nice words

Rixtoys, I sanded them first, then I soaked them in super glue, and then I sanded them again.

Those wheels are really time consuming...

First wheel ready:

I hope you like it.
