Not happy with the steering wheel I've made. I think I'll call it a prototype and try to come up with another approach.

Wire amiture followed by string and insulation tape on the rim??

That's where I started, but I'd chosen to smooth off the string with wood filler as opposed to drenching it with glue, and it's cracking and flaking.

That was my thought prexactly.

Have to find a new name for it.

Halbmund ......

Halbmund ......

Mornington Halbmund if @Andy in Germany wants to join in.

Tried to rescue the steering wheel by wrapping it in paper, but I is not happy with the result. Seeings the model is 1:10, in real life, it would be about 60mm thick in real terms, and it looks silly.

I shall have a rummage in the garage. Maybe I've a suitable curtain ring or split ring or something of that ilk...

Does anyone need a very large cardboard box and a load of bubble wrap?

@PeteXXX for the latter perhaps

Keyring?

 

[Reynard]

Keyring?

Nope, much too small. I need something in the 35 to 37mm range if I'm to stay (more or less) true to scale. This is working on the assumption that the steering wheel is the one out of a Mk2 Cortina.

I has a tired.

What diameter is it ? If it was a 13 inch wheel it would be just over 1 inch . Copper pipe comes in 1 inch size , so I was thinking that something in the plumbing section in a DIY shop might have something useful .

Morning.
It is gradually getting lighter here . It looks like we have a clear sky .
We are going to have our jabs later today.

I watched the "Body in a bag "programme last night! It was very interesting. Strange how a couple of experts on the programme still believe that it was self inflicted when an escapologist couldn't manage to do it after 300 attempts .
