1:32 spoked wheels

Richard, I have them in my stash (lovely!), but that are Palmer Brit ones and too big for a Austro-Hungarian project idea.
I think I will use PE, even the original wheels do not have many spokes (less then the Palmer with three rows).

Thanks!

I'd like to see the tutorial.  There is a review on Hyperscale from 2013 by James Fahey on Steve's wheels.  It states the rims are cast from silver, so this would be difficult to recreate without the proper equipment.  I am curious how the spokes are attached to the hubs.  Looks realistic.  Also looks like the spoke pattern is three cross and two cross - also realistic.

The good news is that we have found a copy of Steven Robson's spoked wheel tutorial from 2012. It was stored in the hard drive files of Des Delatorre's which I inherited after his passing.

I have been in contact with Steven who has given his permission to upload the article again ( he owns the copyright) so stay tuned for the return of the spoked wheel tutorial!

A small question by me and a big effort for the administrator 
Thank you for this good news, Dave!

Steven Robson's 2012 spoked wheel tutorial is back online and can be found in the Hints & Tips board where it's set as a sticky at the top of the page.

The link is:

Our thanks to Steven for his permission to upload the retrieved file from Des' archives.

Thanks Dave and Stephen for making this tutorial available again.

Stephen mentions in the tutorial a follow up second tutorial.
Was this ever made and available?

Hi Mike

Not sure about a second tutorial, the one I uploaded again is the only one found so far.

It was actually in 30 or so parts which I stitched together for what you see on the Forum now.

If I find a second tutorial I will upload that too.

Thank you Dave, that is very interesting!

In meantime I found another one by Kent (I was sure I had seen something not too long ago):

Hi Dave,
 The next time you come across Steven, would you please send him my best regards.
I don't miss facebook, but I do miss the banter with good blokes like Steven and a few other fine gentlemen.

Cheers,
Bob

Due to all the great information here I was able to do my first own spoked wheels, see here:

There are a number of good tutorials on making wire spoked wheels on the papermodels.com web site.

http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/416736-post10.html

I have looked elsewhere on the web for these articles to no avail and you have to be a member ( I am ) at papermodels.com to download them. 

The articles by Spoked wheels by Eric Goedkoop and Spoked wheels by Alan G.  are the better two of the four but the other two are helpful as well.

I have the pdf's if anyone is interested.

cheers, Graham
