Building a prop for the 1/60th Scale Walrus

Refer to my first post -- it shows how to lay-out the propeller blade blank.

I am pouring over your postings. I think I will begin hacking away. Post and ask more questions.

@Bart - Less than you. No one is more hated than you (although I have had my moments)! LOL

Still a coward on the prop.
Built an upgrade for the walrus. The Walrus' got an upgrade in real life, it was a diffuser for the exhaust. The model as sold was a prior version. This began as a paper model pattern and I cut it out of plastic. and am at this point. I have to do several landings and fillings to go.

I'll post more when I get the sub running.

Geeeez Tom. That looks like you drilled 400 tiny holes in that thing?

There is a story to that. I knew I could not drill accurately enough to make it neat. Earlier, I was asking about photo-etching because of these holes. When I was transferring the pattern onto the brass, it was not looking great. So, I played with using a 3D printer just for the hole pattern area. It came out ok, but still ran a drill bit by hand to clean up the holes. The 3D pieces were installed like etched brass.
A little more fixing, then I will mold this up. Why? Because I know myself. I will wack this sail and destroy this and not have a backup. I need a backup!
