Hirst89 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi, I don't know if anyone can point me in the right direction. I've seen a few models with blurred props - where can I get a few sets from? I've looked everywhere. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenshirt Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Prop blur is a PE solution. It's easy to install and looks the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) It looks the part if what you're trying to reproduce is the appearance of a photograph of a rotating prop. It doesn't look the part if what you're trying to reproduce is the appearance of a rotating prop in real life, in which case a plain disc with the barest hint of the prop base colour is more appropriate (or more practically, a colourless disc that you can still actually discern), or ideally an actual rotating prop, which is now very much eaier than ever before to arrange given the widespread availability of very small inexpensive motors which are manufactured to make phones vibrate. e.g. http://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/131 The legitimacy of either approach is entirely a question for the discretion of the modeller, of course.

Now I just fill the spinner and leave the propeller blades off altogether. Each to their own though. Cheers Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ruins the look of the model. My suggestion would be just to leave the blades off entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
