I had some minor troubles figuring how I should make the spokes.
The GPM paper is very thick and the spokeparts are very small, so trying to roll a cylinder with a diameter of 1,5mm was very tricky....I made two of that kind.
Next I did was to get a scan of the spokeparts, Thanks to Peter!! and print on 80g paper.Then I could roll the parts on a 1mm drill and get a nice round spoke

The wheels contains a lot of parts as we can see from the drawing.


To have the center hub stay in place I had to make some kind of jig to hold it steady and level with the outer rim while adding the spokes.

I attached a 4mm wooden rod to a 2mm karton sheet and draw a line for the outer rim so that the distance from center and out should be equal.

Here are all the spokes in place, and you might see the difference in some of the spokes.See this as a test wheel


Next is to put on some paint and dust....
The tiresides was also a new way for me to do wheels.
As we can see from the drawings the sides are built up of 3 parts.They are buttglued to each other.Two are coned and the outer lies level on top.

I'm satisfied with the result of that way to do it.
It seemed a bit tricky at first since the parts are thin and easy to deform.
So I just jumped into it

The top layer are built up of tiny pieces.


Still some left to put on but you get the picture of how it's done.
Thats all I managed today.....
