| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 13-May-17 21:12 |  | | Views : 716 | | Side View - and now to experiment to get the right color of stain, by practising on left over sawed off pieces of the prop block. "Cabernet Red" is so dark, that it does not even show the painted grain line layers. "Golden Oak" and "American Walnut" are best so far. I will try mixing a few drops of "Cabernet Red" in with "Natural" wood stain to try to get a light red color stain. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 13-May-17 21:06 |  | | Views : 637 | | Rear View - now to design an ornamental, scale-like Prop Hub Mounting Plate worthy enough to adorn the front of this prop. The prop might be a tad bulky, but better thatn too thin - better to quit while I am ahead ... |
