Very well done!
Gets to look so real, up to the point where the perfect roundness of the rubber tires starts to look weird!!
(Especially in the 7th picture)

~S~ Arjen M8,
You are right about the tyres! They have now been "flattened" by putting course sand paper underneath the wheels and carefully holding the wheel itself and rubbing back and forth on the flat table surface. What you can't do is get that "bulge" look in the lower tyre side wall, unless............................

Put them on an axis, put some weight on it, warm them up from the bottom.... slowly and steadily.... be patient and watch... and watch... and watch out to stop just in time... Oh wait, they're probably hollow on the inside? Hm...

Wow!
Nice job Mick! The first pic I looked at, was that last one, and I thought it was from an Airshow! Looked very real indeed!

That is loverly! I'm very impressed. I've seen resin tires with the bulge (though I don't think that size), and I'm pretty sure I've seen guys add the bulge with putty, but that would definitely be something to try on a backup tire first. Very impressive. (did I say that already?)

I love it when a plan comes together.
