Here is some progress inbetween real Life interference...
The usual process with laminated Wheels and toothpicks in the landinggear.thumbsupthumbsup / Wilhelm

This is how i make ( and made on Dipper ) the landinggears for Blade Ranger. First i roll a piece of paper around the toothpick, for the vertical and then i roll an extra piece of paper for the horizontal. The horizontal piece is scratch by me because it is missing. Then i cut a slit in the horizontal piece, put the toothpick thru it and glue it together. When it is dry i cut the excess and glue the wheels on. Tadah a complete frontwheel

Yesterday I had some time to continue om Blade Ranger. This time the main wheels and som other detail. ( slow progress... )

The landinggear got the same treatment as the frontwheel, some scratchbuilding...
