| I used a hint found here and shaped the blades using sanding only. It took awhile but it will be the preferred method now. Black was added to the OD for the spinner color. These will be the last things glued on. |

| Using the spinner and pencil, hold one and turn the other for the bottom line, 3/16" in this case. Use the triangle to mark the vertical line intersecting the bottom line. The hole punch makes a 3/16" hole. Line it up with the vertical line and where ever you want it relative to the bottom line, making sure they are all the same. |

| Most of the panel lines are done, the tail feathers are glued in place, the guns are mounted, so it's time to make the props. |

| Then I used a thin piece of styrene, pre-curled on the dowel, to fill the hole. A bit of filler sanded smooth and painted finishes the installation. |

| For the gun troughs I first cut at the back and then a couple of taps with the hammer. |
