HDWTD MAKE STATIC SCALE PROPS
This is a close-up of the
molding halves with the
slightly thickened resin brushed in.
This layer is necessary to prevent
the cloth from showing through the
blade and is best left to harden for
about 30 minutes to an hour before
you apply the first layer of cloth.
This photo was taken
immediately before I joined
the halves. In this stage,
all of the material is wet.
On one half, I filled the
perimeter with a mixture of
resin and fibers and strands,
and I placed wet carbon
roving on the other half. After
joining the halves, I inserted a small brush through the root hole to
press the roving to the inside of the leading edge and the root.
The P
r0
P came out of the mold
shiny and glossy. After trimming
off the excess resin, I had a perfect,
strong and lightweight static prop blade.
Production of subsequent blades is
very straightforward and requires
only a fraction of the time that's needed
to make the first blade.
Of course, three blades
alone do not form an
air screw. This photo shows all
of the parts required to form
the completed item. I made
the static spinner from carbon
in the same mold that I used to
make the flying spinner. I used
some hard foam to make the
backplate and the purple
blocks that serve as blade
retainers. I used a graphics computer program and printed my
own decals using Super-Cal decal paper.
This is the completed
static prop ready to
go—my latest pride
and joy. In VA scale,
the prop's diameter
came out to be 20
inches.
