Cracking work Steve

That's just beautiful. I like your representation of the spinning prop too- just a simple spinner which suggests rotating blades rather than trying to replicate it.

Very nice and very nicely displayed

Thanks Mike.

I tried various things over the years to represent spinning propellers, from 'prop blurs' to acrylic discs and nothing came close. It was at an air show some years ago that as I was watching the various aircraft zooming by, I realised that I could not see the propellers...at all.

All I've ever done since is fill the spinners and smooth them off. It works for me

Great result Steve, and beautifully presented. Always loved the poem, but never knew the source, thanks for inspiring Laurie to post it.
