Do the wheels on your models roll?
Looking doubtful for my first model car in years, but the second one looks like rolling wheels wont be a problem. Would you bust your butt to make the wheels on your car roll? or do you just have them sitting in a display case so its not needed?

I always glue them so they don't fall off the shelf

I had a model try to jump of a table once, since then rolling wheels haven't been as important to me. If it's too much trouble, I wouldn't bother.

Re: Do the wheels on your models roll?
I don't like to glue my wheels... for some reason it makes them seem too dead. Even though I don't play with my models, I like to rotate the wheels and be able to arrange them to however I like whenever I want.

All my models has rolling wheels. Not so important though, but when they are supposed to roll so why not?

Re: Do the wheels on your models roll?

Re: Do the wheels on your models roll?
One too many "Fall Guy" crashes off a shelf for me, no more rolling wheels. When I got into custom stuff it's just too much trouble to figure out how to make them roll anyway, so it's all about 5 minute epoxy or CA glue.

Re: Do the wheels on your models roll?
I don't glue them because I want to be able to take them of for swaping wheels to see how will they look on other models, but I usualy glue or damage polly cap so that it can not rotate to much.
