Hi Guys,

I've got some cool plans to start a heavily 'kustomized' Ork army.

However, one thing has always concerned me - wheels. I never seem to have enough and sites like BitzBox never seem to have any. Anyway, I've seen a few people on the internet combat this problem by using lego, and with a swift Google search I've found a cool site:

http://www.spareblocks.com/index.html

So next time you're looking for a suitable wheel, an interesting bit of hydrollics, or an axel, look no further!

Ciao

Dude, that's amazing! I have a pretty big footsloggin Ork army that I'm looking to add kustomized vehicles to, also. I wonder how the rubber will handle priming and painting, though I suppose some Instamold and green stuff could take care of that issue.

No worries guys, I'm just amazed I'd never thought of it before!

Bring on the kustom/converted Ork Bikes!

I reckon the rubber tyres will handle paint OK, lego rubber is pretty stiff. Failing that, some of their tyres look to be solid plastic. I think I had some of those big plastic wheels when I was younger, they were generally for the big off road space vehicles - handy!

I think you could always leave the tires removable to take them off for paint then slip them back on when you're done.

Also, thanks so much for the link, J!MM!L!C!OUS. Definitely bookmarked for later.
