Dickie Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Message for kkarlsen Evening. I have just join the group after seeing your fantastic conversion of Monty’s Humber (2016/2017). Could you tell me which wheels/tyres you use in the conversion as they seem different from the old AIRFIX kit. Many thanks kkarlsen and Vulcan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Hi, thanks for nudging me Richard! Wow this is a long time ago, as I remember it, I used the kit tyres and made a mold for a tyre without a cap. The tyre tread has been made with some thin plastic card, with some grooves added. A new rim was made mounting a piece of styrene in the Dremel and using it as a lathe. The bolts were taken from a pack of Meng Nuts & Bolts... After that i made a silicone mold and cast the five new wheels. Kent Edited June 30, 2020 by kkarlsen Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That would be a great build, and 1/32 to boot. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Nice work, Kent! I have the same kit and was wondering what to do with it and I like your conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Kent, you mentioned not having enough 1/32 scale vehicles to go with aircraft models...then how about this 1/35 scale trailer kit which could do the trick... https://ibb.co/S7ZybL1 https://ibb.co/tMwRh7q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
