I show how I am making styrene wheels for a charabanc.
This work is part of creating a diorama that is steampunk themed and set in the H.P. Lovecraft story of A Shadow Over Innsmouth.

Wheels are looking very nice.
Lovely work and another great video. Welcome back
*Keep up the good work ! ! Happy new year !(Warped Clips)*
The wheels are looking great Mike. Happy New Year
Looks great! Had to laugh when the wheel popped up and everything was back in pieces. Reminds me of similar challenges I've had with builds. Just gotta clean up, take a breath and start again lol. Happy New Year and all the best Mike.
Taking the breath is key...
Happy new year!
What a ridiculous amount of work for one wheel
I was thinking more in line with using the sculpy oven baked stuff from the Hobby Lobby type stores. Still, what works for you is best. Regards, Solomon
That sculpy is basically the same. Super sculpy is a firmer clay. It takes finer details better and bakes just the same way. At the same temps I think.
"don't say laser cutter" I was sure thinking it though. :)

Hello Mike, I've been a fan of yours for several years and I never miss a video; however, with that being said (and this is not criticism) I just feel like you have way over thunk this. I guess that's a problem those of you with high intelligence and active brains occasionally experience, which I will never have to worry about, lol. There's a couple good videos on YT showing alternative processes to constructing various scale wooden-spoke wheels, wire/metal tension spoke wheels and even a few for RC cars, albeit different, but similar enough that there are a few good takeaways that can be adapted accordingly, IMO. Irregardless, I always look forward to your videos and watch religiously.
Well, I do over think things... All things actually, and it can be a bit of a burden sometimes. Combine that with mild OCD and it's a wonder I get anything done. ;) I didn't do any research on making the wheels, and while it would have been helpful I over research Everything. I think I just wanted to jump in and get to it. But, I should do some research on making the railings for the top. That might save me some time since I expect them to also be fiddly.
And, your comment is criticism, but it's "constructive criticism" and I always appreciate it. I might not have researched the railings without your comment so keep 'em coming.
Hi, can I have a little insight on your setup? Your narrative shots are insane crisp. What lens do you use and what is the setup? Iso? Fstop? Lighting?
Let's see.
Canon T5i with 50mm 2.8 prime lens. - the lens is fantastic and super cheap.
1/40 s, f/stop 4.5, iso 200
Light on my right is a ProStudio box light with 4x 45w Alzo fluorescents. (Prime light)
Light on my left is Alzo 85w fluorescent reflected off a reflective umbrella. (Fill light)
** Alzo's have fantastic color rendering and I won't use any other fluorescents any longer.
Overhead lights above the bench act as hair/rim light.
I shoot a grey card scrim to set the white balance.
Distance from camera to stool is approx. 7' or so.
Light on the right about 2.5-3' from stool, light on left 5' or so.
I set a fixed focus using a target on the stool - a cardboard tube with a box on top that has a dot for center of frame.
I'm slightly over exposed in the shot and take it down a touch in editing plus a little desaturation in Premiere Pro CC.
Camera is in a cage - Kamerar Tank TK-2 cage with Rods support DSLR Camera Cage Kit 4 Canon5D 6D 7D (this is not intended for a t5i and I have to remove the camera to change the battery. Still, pretty sweet cage.
Also on the cage is an VS-3 Aputure V-Screen VS-3 - 7-Inch LCD IPS Field Monitor mounted with a Pergear Heavy Duty Photography Camera Tripod Ball Head 360 Degree Fluid Rotation Tripod Ball head
** Monitor is discontinued and now isn't showing audio levels, which makes me nervous. I can't find any info on how to fix it and company doesn't support it any more. >:( Still, a great monitor at it's price point. They have a new version now.
** Ball head for Monitor is a little overkill but I was tired of it slipping on a cheap ball head.
Cage and gear is mounted on a Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT Aluminum Tripod with SBH-100 Ball Head - I freaking love this tripod.
That's the set up. :)
I suspect if I recall correctly that you used a strip to make the wheel portion and bent it into shape ! Would having the spoke fixed on the strip at the right placement before bending it into shape make it easier to have a perfect wheel by hand everytime ? Just a thought
I think it might make it more difficult. But I like getting outside of the box ideas so keep em coming.
Take a look at Click Springs channel. He talks about ancient methods to make gears accurately and actually makes a jig to make them by hand. Might be something to look into. This video in particular czcams.com/video/BIUAdINXZmQ/video.html
Wow. That is pretty cool. I'm planning on using clock and watch gears so hopefully no making them from scratch. ;) But it's great to know a resource like that is out there. Thanks.
whell OK well fist thing a happy MMXIX to you two ok i say it just some not going to do so this not me but i can do that thing and see you do it and looks great but not fore me but treat the cat say hay to wife and will see other vids as post em
Thanks. :)
