Thank you so much for your constant support, George san.
Glad your back. Been busy? I sure have been. I think I probably have about 6 projects going on at once most of the time, and working 50+ hours a week. What is wrong with me???

Yeah, I can say I've been kind of busy. A bit too tough for me.
6 projects at the same time?! Working 50+ hours a week?!
What's wrong with you? Nothing! Don't think! Keep on working! That's the Japanese way!
Thank you,Tom-san
And thanks for the kind PM, That was a good trigger for me.
Yes! Back on the saddle
Hi! joberg-san. sorry about the long time no see.
Now I'm ready.
Thanks for the kind words, johnfields-san. Let's enjoy model building!
I keep working on the extra-large tires.
So I made up a simple working tool (Jig?) for this which is combining the power drill and power grinder stand. Previously, I made a cog disk to chop a constant pitch for the tread pattern. But that was not so accurate as I expected. I tested the tool and that was OK. But still, I couldn't get the accurate patterns.
When I was toying a masking tape in my hand, I realized how stupid am I. I missed the simple way to make a constant pitch.
I put the masking tape around the stack of rubber disk.
Cut up the tape and peel it off. So, I got the exact length of the circumference of the tire. Stick that tape on a flat surface and measure its length. Then, with a simple calculation, I got an appropriate pitch of a tread pattern around the tire. This time that was 6 mm. I drew the pitch line on the tape and stick it around the tire again. Now I got the rather accurate carving lines.
Set the slick tires on the power drill shaft and fix the alignment.
Set the slick tires on the power drill shaft, adjust and fix the alignment.
Turn on the power grinder. Slide the power drill bench into the grinder blade by hand.
Then rotate the drill shaft a few degrees manually to the next cut. That was simple.
Trimming the sides of each rubber disks as I did before and I got better tires.
I guess you are thinking you don't wanna get too old.
Right!
You can laugh me up!
And...
Simon says, If you have duct tape and masking tape, you can solve every problem.
Right!!
You can rule the world with them.By the way, who's Simon?
I will finish those tires and will make wheels in a couple of days.
Thanks for watching, my friends.

Whenever you post and decide to share Katsu-san , it’s a privilege to to see .
Thank you for continuing to do so with this beautiful build.
Those ‘New’ tyres/wheels look terrific , and the way you thought things through is one of the (many) reasons why !, I enjoy following you.
Hoping you and your family are safe and doing well mate (as well as to all those abroad with this unpredictable,... ‘life !’ ) , and how we’re trying to cope & live it , is changing so fast (seemingly) everyday ...
Best regards,
Ged

Thank you, Analyzer-san.
Many try and error.
Thank you so much, Ged-san! Thanks to your support, we are doing fine!
Thanks, George-san!

Hi, Hagoth-san! Thank you so much!
Today I've just continued to making tires.
Nothing special but I made a small video for you.
Thanks!

Thank you for looking, George-san and any other friends.
The day I amaze the Hollywood movie world would be no that far future!
If you need my autograph, go ahead PM to me. It will be a good investment.
Today, I've test built a wheel and suspension.
I don't think I am going to give it a real-working suspension system but at least I want it looks real.
Making 2.5 cm and 2.0 cm diameter disks out of 3mm acrylic plates.
I drilled a little hole on the small circular saw table and screwed the plates on.
Also, cut up the 2.5 cm diameter water line tube.
Some metalwork.
This test build makes it easier to get an accurate measurement for each component part and the crafting process.
When this wheel and suspension assembly has done, I can fix the total design and measurement of the vehicle.
Then, it's time for the SciFi cooking!
A month ago, I cooked some TV Dinner and put them in the freezer.
Maybe Ged-san might saw it on FaceBook.
Recently, we took them out of the freezer and put them in an oven, and tried.
That was so good!!
We had the dish of Hamberger steak, grilled chicken and vegetable, Chinese shaomai, and fried rice.
I always wanted to try this food. Because we can't buy them in Japan.
Why? There are so many convenience stores within walking distance and they are selling many kinds of bento.
But I don't like cooked food selling in a convenience store.
I've just happened to find the aluminum dish for the outdoor BBQ. I thought 'This is it!'
Oh, we can have this nice meal whenever we want to. Heat up in an oven for just 30 minutes.
Why do I call it SciFi cooking?
Because I cooked it!
Thanks for looking!

Yeah, I remember your FB posts my friend, and I remember salivating over them at the time... just as I am now all over again here on this forum !...
Gotta say though , the professionalism and creativity regarding this wheel and suspension assembly is “taking the cake !”... simply stunning !

Fascinating design - I would NEVER have come up with a design that clever.
And it's only 8:30 AM right now, but those meals are already making me hungry for lunch.

Katsu-san, today was a lucky day for me. I've been reading threads on the RPF for years, but never found one of yours. Today I did.
Reading about how you care for your family, solve problems around the house, and, incidentally, solve problems for and build an amazing model is an absolute treat. While I agree with your claim that solutions come to us in the moment while working on something, I think you deserve more credit than you're taking for your creativity and artistry.
I'm lookin forward to reading the rest of this thread as it unfolds (and looking for the others you've posted).
Thank you.
