What colour do you use for the rubber on the road wheels?

Cheers, Dave

Thanks for that Dave, I used a dk. grey matt enamel from the tin, then a thinned down coat of the same paint to give it that slightly satin look.
If you have a mind to, go to page 2, tanks forum and the Wespe is there and the pickies give you a better idea of the finished wheels. I hope it will be of use to you.
cheers,
Ron

I always enjoy your 'Natural' pics Ron, good to see you remembered the bucket... Looks really good.

No serious intent with this Graham, I just happened to be passing the rockery and thought 'There's a nice spot for a Wespe'!!!
Glad you like it none the less.
Ron

Very nice Ron, hope Mrs Ron don't mind you playing in the garden? Mrs Centurion would kill me, i only got away with it once and i have video.

Have fun, John

Hey please don't take offense as we are a people seperated by a common language(a quote from Patton) but what is a rockery? I like the sound of it.

A 'Rockery' is a garden feature where another dimension is added using rocks. These can be small or large and are pile laid out, usually in a 'natural' way with earth in between. Plants are then planted into the earth so that the rocks still show through giving a flat garden area a sense of height, natural outcrop and texture. A small rockery can be an ideal place for planting species of Alpine plants in minimal soil to emulate there natural mountain surroundings on a small scale. A large rockery may be high enough at one end and long enough to incorporate a small waterfall feature leading to a mock stream water feature running between rocks and planting. In the USA, they may be known as Rock Gardens?

Here are a few examples of American Rockery/Rock Gardens
