    Wheels of Time (WoT) – Timeless Creations

    Creation inspired by the most iconic masterpiece in history . . . The Wheel!

    Believed to emanate in solid (unspoked) wooden disc form c.4500BC as a Potter’s Wheel.

    Present day life: the Wheel is taken for granted, overlooked & assumed. The Wheel hasn’t changed (it’s still circular)! Any refinements have been with regards to the axle, the perimeter & means of motivity.

    My wheels are based on a Traction Engine (akin to my passion for recreating classic Steam Locomotives in LEGO). Featuring: skeletal members; relatively small hub for an axle; minimalist rim carrying a chevron tread tyre.

    Dimensions (inc. Base & Wheels):37B(h)x64S(w)x30S(d); 2675P

    Breakdown (for LEGO Geeks like myself):

    Base: 667P

    Wheel Dia. (Large-Small):

    Blue: 35B&2PL; 723P

    Yellow: 27B&1PL; 563P

    Green: 19B; 435P

    Orange: 10B&2PL; 287P

    KEY: B=Bricks; PL=Plates; S=Studs; P=Pieces (parts/colours available in LEGO catalogue)

    AWESOME OBSERVATION (AS AWESOME AS THE WHEEL ITSELF!):

    All piece counts are odd numbers!
