Hello, fellow modelers! It's a rather unusual topic today. We're going to play spider. How do I make a new wheel hub for an older car like a bently bower the plastic original is not very close to the original so I just keep the center and remove the frame everything else. I clean the frame with sandpaper and then with a knife and prepare it for threading.
Since the Bentley has a double thread, I have to cut the frame into two halves using a razor saw. Be careful with your fingers So that's all we have left of the piece and now to make a template for knitting In the link you can become a template for 24 and 28 pointed knitting. I will mark the intersections on the wooden board with a pencil. Such pins will fit into the indicated holes, nails or solid sticks will also suffice, but first I have to drill the holes and choose the correct diameter of the drill bit. Pin numbered, but not necessary. Now that the template is ready I can glue the bike frame to the template. It is important to keep the center. I make the braids using 0.18 mm silon fishing line. I start weaving from number 1, where I make two knots.
Then I always stretch the cable to the opposite pin + – 1, it depends if you go clockwise or counterclockwise. Finally, I tie the line again so that my bike doesn't unravel. I glue the spokes to the frame with second glue. Now we should be done, but Bentley has a double string and I glue another part of the frame and turn the whole wheel by a few degrees so that the spoke is in the center of the lower string. I repeat the whole process on the back knitting, which only has 14 points, I will adjust the template. I only hammer 7 pegs into the circle. In the end, it wasn't that simple.
The center has a much thicker rear thread and I had to improvise a bit The bike just needs to be sprayed with surfac, assembled and painted What a difference!.
