Pink is so yesterday. Red is today !!

I'm sitting here at work, and had an idea for the cabling. I think an electric guitar string might work. I've got an old e string that might be thin and rigid enough.
If it works, I'll post pics.

Ok. Here's the results. It's a bit messy at the moment. I just wanted to see if it would work. Looks like it will be perfect for me.
They are very shiny so I'll probably paint them a dark brown with a touch of black.

Title for the new build:

Here comes Snoopy in his Sopwith Camel.

Witing for more title ideas for our next build.

This is my attempt at a propeller.
I'm not really happy with it yet.

I know it's hard to see the darker lines, so I might redo the prop with a darker color.

The props were timber so most varied in colour. If you're OK with it then it looks fine.

The prop looks good to me. Could be made from a blonder wood.

I aagree.
I accidentally covered the blondish part.
Thanks.
It's no problem to redo it.

Thank you, but I think I'm going to redo it.

GaryG64 · Oct 25, 2023

Problem solved... maybe.
I'll try to make my propeller like this one.

GaryG64 · Oct 26, 2023

Any suggestions, or should I start over?
I'll probably feather the hard edges and soften them up.
Unless I start over.

GaryG64 · Oct 26, 2023

Kind of messy?

I like it, I would leave it like that. Should look even better with nice shiny gloss finish. Pantherman

TimM63 · Oct 26, 2023

I agree with Pantherman

Thanks, y'all.

I've been able to get a little more work completed.
The top wing was very fickle. I suggest attaching the braces to the wings first then while the glue is just almost set it might be easier to put into place on the fuselage.
