The baseplate looks different as it has not been plated on this model.

Hi Jason,

An unusual baseplate for a VERY unusual model :)
So are we looking at the raw mazak, or is that some other alloy they used for the baseplate?

Cheers,
Ken

Hello all,

I have a question about the 31d Volks-Dragon. What are the "listed" sizes of the front and rear wheels?
My micrometer shows 11.3 x 6.2mm on the front and 13.8 x 7.8mm on the rear. Is this due to rounding the numbers?

Thank you,
Michael E

Hi Michael.
The wheels were made using imperial measurements, so 13.2mm x 6.2mm would be 1/2" x 1/4" or very near

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
