anyone have a good home brew method for painting those black rubber circles? > anyone have a good home brew method for painting those black > rubber circles? > I just use a good #2 brush. Sometimes it's easier to paint the whole bogie wheel the rubber color and then paint the steel part the camo color.

If the axle hole is small enough stick a bamboo skewer into it and twirl the road wheel against the brush. Painting is fast and precise. If the hole is larger I would use a machine screw between two washers to keep the wheel from slipping out of the bolt head. Then add a spring, another washer and tighten with the nut. The spring will keep the wheel in place. Twirl and paint. >>anyone have a good home brew method for painting those black >>rubber circles?

Get a metric drafting circle template. Airbrush the wheel black first, then fit the inner portion into the corresponding circle and airbrush the camo color. Then add an umber wash. Works like a charm. Signature- Rufus >> anyone have a good home brew method for painting those black >> rubber circles?

When you look for one, try to find one that is smooth on both sides, and not frosted for anti-glare. Mine is smooth on one side and frosted on the other - the smooth side is (much) easier to clean up with a paper towel and some thinner... I have a Berol #2140 that has circles from 2mm to 10mm in .5mm increments, and then from 11mm to 30mm in 1mm increments, then 32, 35, 38, 40, 42, 45, and 50mm.

I also cut circles from masking tape with a small circle cutter /compass .
