SPA Modeler

Since I can't seem to paint a simulated wood grain to save my life, I decided to try my hand at carving some. I tried different materials and techniques, but these are the five best ones I was able to create. The problem is, I like 3 of them the best, so I decided to post them here, and let you guys choose the one you like best.



It's going to be mounted on my WNW Albatros D.v.

Thanks Jim. They do make wooden props, at least 2 companies that I can think of, but for some odd reason, I just felt like I had to try. Trust me, had it been a 4-blade, I would have thrown in the towel!

There is a distributor, (name escapes me at the moment), besides Aviattic, that specializes in WWI aircraft AM parts, such as Gaspatch turnbuckles, wooden props, Taurus resin details, etc...

My next WWI aircraft, I will order stuff from them. I enjoyed the fabrication, but was much more time consuming than I had anticipated.

Looks like a load of work, nice job......#5 BTW.

#1 and #5 for me, but I like #5 most due to its shape. No idea if this is correct, but...

Well done on carving them!

Amazing work! I like #1 and #5, I think. Could you make me a 6 bladed prop for a c-130? just kidding.

Are you trying to drive me insane?

I need someone to come along for the ride with me! Oh, they need to be reversible, too...

I'm already riding! I'm thinking adjustable pitch, as well......
