Title: Suggestions for Wheels
Post by: Major Weenie on December 13, 2017, 02:41:54 AM

So I'm sanding away on the resin wheels of a 155 mm Schneider howitzer in 28mm scale,
and I began wondering if there are any PLASTIC wheels out there that I could pirate to save myself some sanding.

Any Suggestions

What do they look like?

Rubicon have spare wheels on their stowage sets (you get two wheels per box).

Yup !

The Wikepedia link has the right photo, with the right gun, with the right wheels.

You know, just before I logged in I was thinking about checking out one of those terrain sites...
Which sells buildings and wagons laser cut from wood. 
I wonder if that would work...

Thanks to everyone,

GREAT suggestion.

And the price is right = $8.59 USD
and the shipping is....
$26.50 USD

Umm... Do they have a US distributor ?

But thanks, it's a great idea.
