Decided to go with a shrouded rotor shaft. It looks rough here, but it's since been filled and smoothed. The shrouded one prevents me from getting too detailed up top, and a lot of grey hairs. (I still have a few that aren't) I already had a swash plate on the go, but the prospect of making four tiny control rods daunted me, so I'm also going with an enclosed hub. The good folks at Farley were obviously thinking 'stealth' well ahead of anyone else. Hub was made from a couple of wheels, rotors from wooden stir sticks.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Woodgrain rotor blade finish?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Woodgrain rotor blade finish?

Yes. With metal hubs and tips faked with paint.
