Oh my goodness, I did it at one stage I was thinking this is impossible; you just need a lot of patience, and the end results speak for its self. I just finished doing pack 4, and I just got an email saying pack 5 is on its way I have to take my hat off to ARGORA MODELS well done. 👏

Oh man, yes i've just finished pack 4 and that wheel was a challenge. As you say patience! And  a little bit of elbow grease for the second set of spokes 😂

Having only started this build a few days ago, I saw these comments and thought 'how hard can it be'?

Having just finished pack 4, the answer is VERY! 😛

As you guys rightly say, patience is a virtue... and I have to agree the finished wheel is well worth all the time (the spokes took me longer than the rest of packs 1-4) and effort.

Info for you guys doing your wheels, when you lay the first of spokes in, use a toothpick and medium CA around the hooking area on the rim, lay in the second set of spokes.  This really helps hold everything together and yes, be very, very patient.  Am on my second wheel right now.

I found myself glueing the spokes just as you did. I ran a thin coat around the inside where the spokes are fed as well. I did this after all the spokes were in place. Once one was finished I gained confidence and the rest went smoother . I  learned to keep a couple types of glue within reach long ago.
