Hi, 10mm is a bit big (handles stick out) but I take your point. Thanks.

Ashley, thanks for your thinking! Your first suggestion sound the best but, as you say, size is the thing. It will be a bit like watch-making but fortunately I have a fairly comprehensive workshop (but without the real ability!). Anyway, Iwill pluck up my courage and give it a go.

Ashley, thanks for the reply. It is for a 1/48 model of HMS Thetis, an early T class submarine (1939) which had a steering position in the conning tower. Lokking at photographs I am guessing at 10mm dia.
The photos I have seen are not very clear and I can not see the material. I guess that it is probably steel, due to the wet nature of such a boat.

Hi,
I have been trying to get a ship's wheel that is 10mm diameter. My first thought is to use a readu made one but this size seems a bit too small. My next thought was to buy a plastic kit that had a ship's wheel of the correct size but haven't a clue what to buy. My last thought is to make one, but at this scale I am unsure how to go about this.
Can anybody help me?
Regards

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
