So after getting the other gun together and spraying both Nato black, I worked more on the prop. After a few tries I got what you see in the pic. Not as good as I would like, but not sure how to get it better. From what I have seen, they were definitely more than 3 pieces of wood. Not sure I can get 4 or 5 bands and not have them look like crap.
