In Extremis: Drawing the Wheel

The wheel was a bit of a challenge for me. 

I mocked up a quick plan view for the ground plan before I had time to draw a detailed wheel. It wasn't the drawing of it that was confusing me, I was just unsure about what materials were being used on which sections and the best ways to make it. 

Once I'd spoken to Richard about it I was able to draw the wheel properly as you can see on the drawing. It was difficult doing the side elevation as I needed to match up the perspective and the cladding, it took a lot of trial and error but I got it right in the end! I think it's my favourite drawing as it is quite detailed and looks exactly like Rhiannon's model. I cant wait to build it!
