No , no i didnt use any resin and i didnt made any mold. I just took the plastic(vinyl)? and sanded down until comes to the wright size of the wheel half.

At the foto the left ring which is transparent is one ring as it is straight from the curtain and the right one is after a lot of sanding, and for that reason has lost the transparensy.

Yes this was my first atempt of making scratsbuilt spoked wheels.

I saw this method done along time ago in a copy of Fine Scale Modeller , you did a great job on them . Time consuming but well worth it and better then PE parts can ever do
