Brizio Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Is this going to be a steampunk-esque mono-wheel, like the one in the new Men in Black film? I didn't watch MIB, but I will check it out! Cool project I am working on an O?T scratch-built Monitor type iron clad.Not steam punk per se but in the area! Nice! Do you have a post of it, I would like to follow your progress.

Thank you! It is been a while since I follow the steampunk thing, I like the concept all those weird machine, vehicle, but I'm not 100% into, so I will never dress up or thing so. I prefer the steam punk than the diesel punk, because I think it is more interesting, kind the original one. I think for us, model builder it is fun to build something "different"! Cool project on your tractor, looking forward to see a post here. About weird machine look a this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is the tire an "o" ring ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is the tire an "o" ring ? No, I didn't though about a O-ring, I should have! The inner part is a piece of paper, and the outside part is made by three wires, one bigger in the center and two small on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Some more progress... The wheel is done, at least for now, for sure I will add more parts to it, but I need to wait to install burner cylinder and tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
