....and you're worried about fabricating a couple of wastebaskets with fins??

Well----I wanted to make sure that the bombs were as accurate as possible. They are trying to do a first class job restoring the A26 and I want to make sure that the M35 bombs are up to par. I get a little overboard with everything I do.

It is done at last! I know it is missing a few details, but I was building this for a client and that is the way he wanted it. It is about to be suspended from his hanger.

Nice Mig! BTW, do you need or have want of a spinner for your Neptune prop?

That's great !!!! Now seeing some reference, it's a lot bigger than I thought originally.....what a fun project and nice work.

I don't really need a spinner for this prop. I'm about to make a table out of it. A really big table. I plan to lay the prop on it's back and bend the first few feet of each blade down to make table legs. Then, a giant piece of glass goes over the top.

It has roughly a 12ft wing span and it stands about 5ft tall and weighs several hundred pounds. I hope the guy that is buying it has a sturdy ceiling.

OK, thought I'd ask as I was given one many moons ago. Neat idea for the prop. Let us see how that progress's

Wow. That is really cool. How long did it take to build that??

[carlisle1926]

I worked on it on and off for about a year.
