they look awesome! lots of work. but beats the kit spokes by a veeeery large margin 🙂
for nipples, i guess it can be steel tubes, from needles for example. or are they fine brass tubing?

Benjamin Jäggi. For the Spokes I used 0,33mm new silver rod, for the nipples brass slide tubing o.d. 0,6mm i.d. 0,4mm. Both from Albion Alloys.
I'm eager to start with this kit, but all model building is on the back burner. I now have two 3D printed figures in 1:12 scale that will be placed at the Alfa.
And yes Spanjaard, I fully agree that its a major improvement 🙂
