Spoked Wheel Construction
I've been making some progress on scale spoke wheel construction. The photo below shows the culmination of all the different media types which has taken awhile to orchestrate. Although not strictly "perfect scale" it's close which was the focus on this round of development. The next revision will focus on true scale and includes a few changes to the fixturing and construction method of the rim.
The wheel is 47.5 mm in diameter (approximately 1:16 scale 700 mm wheel). Construction materials consist of tracing paper, card stock, 2 mm corrugated cardboard, 4 lb. test monofillament fishing line, cyanoacrylate glue, PVA glue, magic model filler, hard acrylic paste, testors non-rub aluminum and brass paints, black gouache paint (tempura/poster paint) and matte acrylic sealer. -Gil
