I got some bad castings of 15 mm WW1 artillery wheels. Some of them are missing parts of the interior supports or spokes on the wheels. What would be the best way to fix? |

Can you contact the manufacturer and ask them to send you new wheels? |

Check out the use of superglue and baking powder here: YouTube link Go to the 12 minute mark if you want to cut to the chase… Robert |

If your guns get glued to the base, you can camouflage the faulty wheel with a bush |

monk202uk, thanks for the link to the video – the baking soda looks a really useful tip. |

can you grab a matching pair of wheels from something else? So long as they basically the right size and have close to the correct number of spokes who will notice? Or check shapeways for a pair of wheels that fit. Or find a friend with a 3D printer. |
