I get detailed with how things are done so that if others want to do this they can. When making the complex you just do a whole lot of simple steps. One builds on the other.
There's still more detailing that needs to be done. Here's the laundry list:

Here's the finished product done last night.
For anybody that wants the new template for the propellers here it is to proper scale:

Thanks appreciate it. :) I feel like the more research that is done on this project the more that the movie "magic" is being ruined, but then again I'm getting a greater appreciation for the art they have created along the way.
Thanks for stopping on by.

Looking forward to it! BTW when you add addition pieces to texture a surface feature we call it greebling around here. Not sure about the origin of that. You'll have to ask Zathros about it.

Wow! :surprise::surprise::surprise:!! Awesome job! :bowdown::bowdown: Love the little Thunderbird ships along with T-bird 2.:):) Any chance of doing a full T-bird fleet with a diorama?
Just wondering....

Have a GREAT day! and
