Hello Maarten,
Last Friday my wheels arrived.
I'm pretty pleased wih the result. The surface is a little rough, but for wheels or other components like engines or axle's I's good enough. I think it also helps that the curve in the centre of my wheels is quitte shallow. I painted the wheels with a metalic paint. This, in combination with the rough surface, gives a very "sparkly" effect. Maybe a flat gray color is beter.
Oh, and I blundered with the design. There should be 10 holes in the wheel. I've got 12. I'll live with it, for the time being. If I dont like it, I'll fit them to an Alfa GTA.
I think I could scrape of some more material of the wheel. I made the centre quitte thick to make it strong on this first set. It saves money, but it's also a nice design challange to get a strong wheel, with the least amount of material.
First thing I want to do now, is get my DeDion axle printed, but I need to do some more work on the drawing.
Kind regards,
Otto.
