A while back there was an article on painting wood props to show grain. I’m doing a Ryan PY-22 and if anyone remembers that article or has info on how to…I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Go look through the WW I Group Build that is active now, we’ve had a lot of good info there on doing wood props.

This is the way I do it and it works pretty well for me.

MK,

I can almost smell the varnish too…really beautiful look. The prop alone is so well done, but the fuselage is unbelievable! Thanks very much for the help. I’m off to the art supply store tomorrow for MORE supplies!
