Thanks for posting this it has given me an idea or many. I wonder how many fingers I'll lose by trying to cut wheel rims?

Thanks Arni! Very timely for me because I am just about to change out the solid plastic wheels on a Bleriot Monoplane.

 

Thanks again,

Adrian

 

PS this is the sort of topic that should get pinned because it's such a great reference.

Not a good method or result.

 

Follows no proper pattern for the spokes , just what is easiest to do.

Thanks again! I made myself some wheels yesterday and they look 100% better than the solid plastic provided in the kit.

I appreciate that it may not be completely to scale but it is a significant improvement on what you get in the box, and that's good enough for me on this one.
