Quick update on my wheel machines, I started working on the Tire Changer this time. I hope I get to prime these machines by tomorrow while we still have the sun shining.
As with the wheel balancing machine, I had to make adjustments with the measurements of the tire changer because of it being too small if I stick to 1:64 scale. So far I have managed to make the tire remover shaft and bead breaker movable. I Still have to check though if this features can be redone in casting. I'm still missing some minor details on the machine, will work on it before this gets primed.

Because of the adjustments made with the measurements, regular Hotwheel wheels should fit the machine. However, same as the balancing machine, size is a bit off. I'm not yet 100% committed into making another set just for HW since there are very few HW castings that I like. With enough FB likes and requests in the future I might do, but for now this should just be fine.
I have not decided on what would be the next piece for the diorama. Wheel alignment machine maybe? CNC machine? Laser cutting machine? Or maybe something simple like a work table or a tire rack? Anyways, hope to see you on the next update!
