Tank builders have their tracks, I have my spokes. Its just something you need to get done before you can get on and build

So half of row one completed....

spokes are 1" here and i have gone with .3mm nickel silver wire.
I have near perfect eye sight, nothing else works that well these days on my worn out chassis but i can see 20/20. You do need a good magnifier to do these. they are certainly not suitable for a first attempt at spokes...

here with 1.5 rows complete and half way Getting complicated now, needs total concentration because getting one spoke in the wrong hole now throws the rest of them out as you go and the hub holes are very close together.

As you can see i bought some .3mm wire and i have just about got away with threading it through the 3D printed nipples. (which are only in these loosely at this stage so appear different lengths)
5 hours in anther 3 to go i expect and then 4 more to do .......

The beauty of symmetry!

One down four more to go

Definitely the most complicated wheels i have done so far..... 6ft of wire per wheel and the whole thing is only 1.5 inch dia

Hang there Paddy, didnt you build one of these a while back ? Well yes i did as it happens, but i had problems with shattering parts due to the spirit based washes i used, ill fitting hood, again my fault and i also auctioned it off for Charity so i dont have one of these for myself. Here is...
