I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

nice interceptor david!

I should have mentioned that a piece of 3/16" wood was glued into the bottom of the spinner for the blades to be glued to.......

Look really nice. Did you use any fill in the back of the spinners or just glue the blades in?

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.

terrific technique and execution - and all new to me! I love it.
David Duckett, Comment for image # 4016903 May 18 09:08
I take a lot of breaks:-)

That's a lot of panel lines David. How are Your eyes doing?

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.

If you mean the tape between glue spots, no.
Don C, Comment for image # 4015229 Apr 18 16:54
I saw that, but no problems with in between?
David Duckett, Comment for image # 4015229 Apr 18 16:04
And that's why it's glued:-)
Don C, Comment for image # 4015229 Apr 18 12:54
I wondered if the masking tape would eventually dry and lift. That's happened to me in different applications.
David Duckett, Comment for image # 4015229 Apr 18 10:39
I used a pin to CA it at the ends and junctions and will paint where you can see the shiny CA on the red and OD. I've been thinking matte medium would seal it and might try that before painting again.
Don C, Comment for image # 4015229 Apr 18 09:49
Do you seal it down with some clear?
