kennb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks for the comments,,,I have a photo to show size of the front wires to give you an idea of the actual size. It gives a good look at what can be done. I do have to make a different a different board for this wheel tho. I need to have fewer pegs for lacing and closer to the center. I have to conserve on the wire I use . Kenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) I went shopping today in the big city and got a new cutting board and a cheap plastic "T" square. Now I can cut straight lines and accurate 90* angles..... The "T" square inches line up with the cutting mat but on the half inch but still a nice feature that was a surprize now maybe I can make some nice looking models Kenn Edited March 29, 2013 by kennb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennb Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Getting to the interior on this one today.....not sure about it. I made it swoopy and austeir (sp). Did do a ceiling liner for this one, nothing complicated thinking is that is offsets the busy motor. Thanks for looking....................... Kenn .

kennb Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have a tutorial on the wire wheels in the community build (1933 MG K3 challenge) or see the same in the 1936 MG SA Saloon build previously posted. I will also be going over it again in the scratching the surface 1936 Bentley thread in about a week. Thank you for the questions,,,they are appreciated. There is now a colour coat on the body.
