      Thanks for the suggestions, Pilou

      Wow, just a few minutes looking at that tutorial made me dizzy! Could not figure out what they were talking about. All that and it was just a flat fence, woven but flat 😲 And I thought my method was convoluted πŸ˜†

      Actually the wheels are ok for my purposes now. I'll probably use some simple stand-ins while I'm working on the rest of the Rover, but I think I've got the line count down to a useable level.

      Maybe later tonite I'll start my WIP thread, "Building my Moon Buggy" or something like that. And then I'll see how it goes.

      Well, back to cleaning out the barn. Fun time (not)

        Well, my Lunar Rover project just died. 😞 I don't like to model something that someone else has modeled unless I think I can do a better job of it, and I just found a model here http://imgur.com/a/px8fY that is amazing.

        Oh well

        On the bright side, he did wimp out on modeling the wheels, no weaving at all

          No way man... That model sucks. A drunk monkey could do better. You must keep going.

                      Haynes for NASA? That's amazing!

                      Blown away by the detail and progression of work, keep it up man!

                        Thanks, but if I can't make it first or at least make it better I really don't see the point of making it at all. Plenty of other amazing things out there just waiting to be modeled. And the wheel was an interesting learning experience so it was worthwhile.
