Awesome work! I like your truck, looks very well done. Very interested to know how things go from here onwards.

hi where do you buy the silicon to make the molds for your tyres. thanks.

I bought the silicone on a trade fair here in germany, but there are also different shops where you can get it. Unfortunately I know german web sites only:

The mold and the tyres are made out of the same silicone. Watch the so called "shore value". The higher the number the harder the silicone. For TTTT I recommend Shore 20 and less.

You also need a mold release agent. Teflon fat is my favourite. Talcum powder works also, but not as good as teflon fat.

By the way ... theses days it's just too cold to work on the truck. My little work shop is in the basement.
