Hi guys,
I have seen somewhere an how-to article explaning how to build a tire from scratch but I can't found it .. Anyone have a link or anything explaning how to do that ?

Thanks

Not sure about a specific tire one - but here's one that'll get you started

Scratching Resin

Casper is the one to send a message to as he has a photobucket full of pics as to how to scratch the tyres and wheels.

Basically, laminating the plastic to the required thickness and diameter of the tyre and wheel. Fixing it through the centre to a drill and using that to spin it while you mill to the required shape using blades and files just like on a turning lathe.

Then cut the pattern of the tyre tread in a thin sheet of plastic and then wrap around the shaped tyre.

Once satisfied, cast and mould duplicates in resin.

He of course makes it look so simple. I have yet to try it for myself.

Here's a few pic's that are pretty much self-explainatory

I'm still sort of working on an article but am a bit side-tracked with a different sort of project at the 'mo.
Any Q's just ask.
We shall try to provide a useful answer.

I will wait patiently -- or will you use the tyres for bumpers?

Ship ahoy!!
