Thats fantastic and looks just so. 
A small cavalry guidon/pennant may also set it off very nicely

Bravo!

That's some Evergreen sheet... don't have the exact pattern-name, but it's like a square wave. Tobi

Yeah, thats the thing though, the names. Its so hard to get an idea of what the plasticard will look like when ordering it online! We need a thread for identifying plasticard....

That's absoloutely brilliant!
You're mad, but I guess you have to be for VSF!  ;D
May I suggest adding stabilisers? Would add a great sense of VSF technology to it.

a superfast rotating wheel doesn't need stabilizers ;) and boy, is this one fast!

Well done! I like it very much (apart from the camouflage - but tastes are different...).  :-* o_o

Maybe this Monowheel could be a thing for a future project - more in an Pulp-style though...
