Nice work, Joe. How did you paint the wheels, and where did you find the ribbon?

Wheel painting ... I did it twice ... it's a good thing alcohol was able to clean off the first, bad, paint job. I brush paint the red spokes and rim (roughly) with Vallejo paint. When that dried to the touch I painted the tire with black being more careful to be neat. I held the wheel with a small piece of metal rod inserted in to the mounting hole on the rear of the wheel. I'm pretty sure I read about this basic process here on the forum somewhere - I'm sure it wasn't an original idea.
I tend to meander through home improvement stores and craft stores look for model train stuff. The ribbon came from either Michael's or AC Moore. I was on a hunt for screen door screen for an n-scale building ... that I never finished.id="Comic Sans MS">
