on this subject has prompted me to produce drawings in 1/35th to aid (or dissuade) anyone wishing to build wire wheels for the Roden kit.
The reason I added dissuade is the scale spoke diameter is about 0.12mm!!

The drawings are based upon photos.

The good news is that I have completed the drawings, the bad news is just a few minutes ago I came across a photo of a Ghost rim without the tyre, the hole patterns on the rim and hub are quite not correct, this will hardly be noticeable on 1/35th.

Great work Chris! These spokes are almost psychedelic, I hope your head is still okay!

Thanks Kieffer, trying to see the spoke patterns was the most brain taxing part, 946.4cc of water mixed with malt, hops, and yeast soon had my head back to normality.
