Limits?  I don't see any limits.   I just see some very wonderful work, Nenad.  

[Piet]

That's it Nenad, what a wonderful spoke you made.  BRAVO!!!!  You are breaking boundaries my friend.  That'll be a perfect wheel.

 

Cheers,

[Omega1234]

Wonderful, Nenad!

A realy big big big thanks to everybody who push me on to make this:

 

 

 

Thinning, fine tunning and painting - next time

Now, that's excellent, Nenad!

[slow2cool]

Great work, looks like you work some magic of your own.

[CaptainSteve]

Bravo, Nenad. I can't wait to see the finished wheel.

(But, I guess I will have to be patient)

[mtaylor]

I guess we all have to be patient, Steve.  One cannot rush a master builder.

[Piet]

That looks super nice Nenad, what a marvelous achievement!

Hi Nenad

Thank you everybody !!!!

 

I have to admit that i was quite excited discovering that I can do that. This beasts (spokes) are really really small, rings are very very thin, and whole structure is fragile as "dragon glass" meeting white walkers. luckily I am not Samwell Tarly , the killer

 

There was a question how to fix rings and center circle where spokes meet during sticking ...

 

Using needles was out of question in this scale and material, for three reasons: first - needle looks like a chump toward this gentle structure, and I was afraid that putting needle in will break this tinny ring. Second, needle left hole after, and that opened filling question. Third - needles (2 or 3 with one for middle section) reduce work space in the air above and make it more difficult for work. So, I dilute white glue with water, and glue first ring above drawing. On this way I get weak connection, but still connection, who keep all parts together until glue dry and harden, and to remove paper and weakened glue will be easy. On that way also resolved how to transpose exact positions for spokes on ring, because, their positions are right under on drawing !!! Similar method I have used making six windows on skylight for aft-deck house

 

Glue (white glue this time) was applied on spoke bearing and on center circle as little drops from toothpick top. It was tricky to get right spokes lines on this scale.

 

 

Now, that's excellent, Nenad!

 

I agree Patrick, I am also satisfied. Maybe it can be done a bit precise, but ... this little wheel can stand on a single button on your PC keyboard, and you can see curves on spokes only if you get your nose very very close or with magnifier. Nobody can see in regular way that "stomach" on spoke No3 is a bit wider than "stomach" on spoke No 5, and a bit higher than a "stomach" on spoke No 8.

 

 

Great work, looks like you work some magic of your own.

 

I forgot to tell that I was mentored by Albus Dumbledore ... in my dreams ... I was bad student and i was thrown out from Horgwarts after only one night, but something what I learned, obviously stayed

 

 

Bravo, Nenad. I can't wait to see the finished wheel.

(But, I guess I will have to be patient)

 

So do I, Cap. Right now, I am sitting in office, and instead to work, I am obviously on MSW, thinking: to work - or wheel - or work - or wheel ... weekend in front, and I will achieve all I planned, but right now ... to work - or wheel - or work - or wheel ...  I must visit Dr Peer this days ... 

 

 

I guess we all have to be patient, Steve.  One cannot rush a master builder.

 

You overstate, Mark. Just discovering something I could be very glad to find in the very early start of my build. Far far away to be master. Maybe in another life (if I do not reincarnate as mushroom) 

 

 

That looks super nice Nenad, what a marvelous achievement!

 

Cheers,  

 

Could I say that your work inspired me, Piet ? thank you for being here on MSW

 

 

Great job amigo.

David B

 

Thank you David. your miniature work share quilt as inspiration, also. I shall never forget in my life your microscopic card works  

 

 

Hi Nenad

 

THIS is it! Fine job done.

Gerhard

 

Hey Gerhard, you are main culprit and encouragement of execution !!! Without your pushing, I`d probably stayed with Cu wire as spokes. So, guilty as charged !!!!

 

A very very big thank you !!!!

Hi Nenad

 

It`s just great, how you made it. The trick with the light diluted glue is superb, noted that for my next wheel, Thank you! to be serius, you know what you can do, when you try. Thats how I make it all the time, and mostly it works. Keep on going, I like that built!

 

Regards

Gerhard

Goal:

 

 

And result

 

 

 

Not exactly in scale, obviously little oversizeing was necessary.

 

It is just amazing: in scale 1:100 spokes which in nature has 3-5cm dia, , on model will have 0'3-0,5mm dia. Just impossible

 

I was thinking about inner brass ring you can see on upper photo, to simulate with gold color, but think there is no point. Hairline circle can not be seen, and everything thicker than hairline would be too shiney.

 

Who knows, now is 23:00h and morning is always smarter than evening

I think your wheel turned out splendid Nenad! 

[popeye the sailor]

great job Nenad!.........ship's wheel looks awesome

[Omega1234]

Top job, Nenad. You should feel deservedly proud!

 

Cheers

Hi Nenad

 

I knew you could do it! Well made, 1:100 is a bit more complicated than my giant 1 : 50 measure! Congrats to you, keep on going further!
