There is more than one way to weather wheels!

 

For this project I have chosen to show how to use a 9 volt battery to turn the wheels a quarter of a revolution at a time to avoid paint-less shadows behind the connecting rods and motion assembly.

 

The sequence of photographs should demonstrate how successive light coats of paint can be applied after each quarter revolution to cover up these areas.

You will, by now, have noticed that I wasn't entirely successful! After the photographs were taken and I had studied them, I went back and did some more. I use photographs regularly to check that things are progressing properly, and can go back to rectify things before it's (hopefully) too late.
