How it all started

Im a bit behind on starting this blog, so I will go back to the beginning. I had a failure of a paddle on my xbox wheel, the standard failure where my paddle broke and with the official wheel no longer made I wanted to replace it but how.

So I found out about silicone moulds and plastic resin casts. So I decided to give it a go, below is the first outcome, I strengthened the arms so they wouldnt break, this is prior to the final clean up of the arms;

This got me thinking if I can do that for this why cant i create a faceplate for the wheel to make it in a more racing style...time to get on with the design!
