I converted my stormtalons to look more like apache gunships. Now I'm looking for ideas for the rotor blades. I tried the dakka deffkoptas but they seemed off ao Im on the hunt for alternatives. Other than hitting the toy store this weekend and taking ones from a toy copter I was wondering if there might be other suggestions.

Scale model apache? swipe the rotors off it.

Yeah that was the last plan this weekend. I was hoping there were more interesting choices, but a trip to toysrus might have to do.

If you want them to look like the rotors are actually spinning, use a disc of clear plastic cut from a wrapper of some description.

You can either paint it or lightly sandpaper it in a big circle to mimic the swirly spinny rotory whizz.

This sounds awesome. Any pics of it in action?

afraid not, I haven't done it since I was a kid making model airplanes
