| Richard: Yes, Reynolds Wrap. Used some old Krasel foil adhesive that's been in my stash for 20(+) years. Covered just like a wing; bottom side first, trimmed then cover the top. I have found that using a piece of soft balsa is the best way to burnish down the foil. |

| Love those hexagons rayl - amazing detail. |

| A chrome prop!! Is that Reynold's wrap kitchen tin foil? What glue did you use? Two pieces of foil for each blade - one upper and one lower? |

| That's amazing! |

| Did you mold the hub? The blades look like factory. |

WIP: the prop hub. |

Basswood blades covered with Reynolds foil. [Four coats of dope followed by numerous coats of rattle-can sandable primer. Sanded them down with 600 grit beteween coats to get the smooth surface that the foil demands.] |

I resized a picture of the Hamilton Standard prop and used copies to make templates for the blades. |

| You know, it could just be your eyes telling you something and not the camera. That's nice. |

| Great artists practices. |

| Have to agree with Creo. We're all a bit on the daft side. How else can we be great artist? |

| Rayl, I've been following your build and gotta say you're knocking everything out of the ballpark. Your attention to detail is extraordinary! Very, very good. I can only imagine the final results with all that rib stitching on the wings. You're amazing. |

You know those annoying little flags that the lawn care people stick in yard for you mow down? I knew that they would come in handy some day: Intake tubes and exhaust stacks here finished in Metalizer paint. |

Excuse the focus here, but I think that this is going to be the Ignition harness wiring style. Copper wire, Solder, Heat-shrink tubing and various sizes of tubing and Hex shapes. |

| WOW!! JFB!! |

| Ingenious method you have there. The proof is in the work you achieved. I'll have to try that for some of the radials I'll need. And as for being a bit daft, we probably all fit that designation at some point. I wouldn't want it any other way. |

| You will chuckle how I did the Cylinder heads: I sanded down almost every surface of a spare 1/12 Williams Bros. cylinder to reduce the overall dimensions to about 80% of the original dimension, re-scribed the details then made a master RTV mold and cast the (9) new heads, touching them up here and there. I wouldn't recommend this method except to someone who is already a little bit daft:-) |
