Wall art

I used TJ's propeller file for the blades , I then created the center hub and cowl .

Thanks Russ for the kind words

Hey! That looks great! GREAT job! And I love the paint!

Came out really nice Bob! I'm lazy and lousy with a brush--I probably would have pocketed holes and used Real bolts :)
Great Job!

Very cool, I could see this in many locations from homes to restraunts. Far more interesting than a painting of a propeller.

Where's the rest of the plane?:confused: That looks excellent! I have seen something similar where someone made a steam engine front, then painted a tunnel on the wall to make it look like it was coming out of a tunnel.

Maybe you could paint the wall to look like this is sticking out of the wall:eek:

Thanks guys

Scott I'm not so good with the brush myself , made paint mask with vinyl cutter , made the painting easy

Jack The rest of the plane would not fit in my small shop

That is supper nice... bet you could sale those to local pilots...

Bob - Looks fantastic! What kind of stock did you use?

The blades are from a 2X4 TJ's 2 sided machining , the center hub 6 layers of 3/4" mdf 2 slices , the engine cowl 3/4" sign foam , added was a pc. of 3/4" ply to back with a 3" screw thru to hub
