Re: Newbie here - needing some advice.

i had some time off work over the festive period so the model is coming on nicely now. i'll get some pics up in the WIP section soon (photobucket is painfully slow tonight).

in the meantime, i could do with a little advice about the wheels...

i got hold of the fujimi ones as mentioned but now i'm a bit nervous about converting them to fit.
the picture below shows the problem...



the boss/hub needs shortening all the way back so it's nearly flush with the spokes, then a spindle will be glued in it's place. i'm just a bit nervous about grinding away with my dremel incase it starts to melt the plastic or even worse snap the spokes. has anyone got any better suggestions ?

thanks guys.
