Thanks for making me feel like an idiot for spending the first 8 hours of a model cleaning up the road wheels. Seriously, why did I not already think of this before - a great tip from my favorite channel.

Thanks for the input, John. I'll continue the series for sure. And yes the process is just as involved there are just fewer files to comb through. I take a lot of care to craft these videos for quality content and production and it's a pleasure when I see others notice. Cheers my friend!

I don´t know why, but for me such repetitive and boring tasks are a bit like a catharsis, so i kinda enjoy doing that. But i see that working around that with such fancy tricks has its purpose. Clever solution!

Thanks, man! It all comes down to how much time do we have as creators to spend on things that could be sped up by something faster and more efficient. IMO anyway.

There were quite a few jokes in this one... and a couple I made up myself... putting it on the shaft. ;) Just FYI; some Sherman tyres do have a centre line - there's a few good walkaround photosets online of the M51 at the Yad La-Shiryon armour museum that shows these quite clearly, and also that the spares which are 'nearly new', have almost a 'grid' pattern of manufacturing lines. Quite how you'd model this in 1/35 I don't know, and once scaled down I think they'd be all but invisible, but they are there. Still, great vid and an easy technique to learn. Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome! Thanks for watching my friend! Yes, I have seen these seams present on Shermans and you could leave them there in some cases. The problem is if a judge at a model show sees it he's more than likely to mark it down as bad prep... unless he's a well-educated fellow.

Hi Scott mate, you know the amount of times I've been there with the seam lines, but if you look at references etc I noticed that a lot of road wheels had seam lines on their wheels I couldn't believe. All that bloody time sanding and scraping. I got myself a Dremel but it's actually a wilko one which wilko is a shop over here that sells tools, garden bits a lot like, I think wallmart is it, over there by you guys. It is great but I must admit, when I had all my last stash and tools etc I had a proper Dremel and they are truly a fantastic tool. I may have to get myself one again in the future. Hope you and your family are well buddy

Thanks man! Yes some do have that line but any rubber wheels on a vehicle that has seen a decent amount of service has that line worn off. look at reference pics on google and you'll see these examples.
