Hello all! At the end of my photographic reportage from the construction of my "Indian", I wanted to show you of what really had the most work - it was the wheel. And here on the occasion to answer the question Dunakin colleague Ray, why do some things I made from aluminum instead of plastic. I like my work to combine different materials, aluminum is a wonderful material. For many years I dealt with jewelery, hence my tendency to metalworking. Fantastically polished aluminum, for example, mimics the chrome or nickel. That's why I made of aluminum alloy.
Thank you all for your words of recognition to me. I am therefore pleasantly and I feel proud that I wished to take his hobby to the group, and you are all wonderful modeling enthusiasts. I hope that the next presentation of my work also you enjoy it.



















Regards

Dariusz Beck

Wow, it's spoked up just like the real thing. Bravo!

That is a perfect job of lacing the spokes.   
It's a difficult task on the full size rims and even harder here.

Hello Dariusz,
quite apart from that I can only congratulate to this magnificent model, but I would have one more question.

How did you get done with the holes for the spokes in the wheels?

Holes drilled in the rim. As a rule, we choose the diameter of the drill diameter spokes in the wheels. You have to rozmierzyć distance between spokes. In total, this model is the 36 pieces in one circle.

Dariusz - lovely work.

Have you seen this work?

Yes, I know the work of Mr.. Tarrago. He makes models of which I can only dream of. His models are in 1/6, and my 1/9 scale.
