Saturday was propeller day

I got all my 1/72 scale propellers together from unfinished kits and got them all painted.

I put on a coat of light tan acrylic, followed by some future.

Then I got out my artists oils and made a pallet out of wax paper. I added white, yellow ochre and burnt umber and got some nice tones.

I brushed on some of a lighter shade then after an hour t dry a bit, lightly "dry-brushed" some of the darker tones, to give a nice laminated wood appearance.

It won't be so accurate of the Fokkers, which had 7 layers of laminate, but I can't paint that accurately, and anyway the wood look suits me.

I'll leave them for a week to cure then put gloss coat on them.
