      But the prop doesn't look good/right.

      I'm guessing it's because of the perspective and view angle. It looks ok for me. The bees shouldn't fly neither (because of their shape)... but they do ๐Ÿ˜„

        Can you post a image with model having hidden geometry on?

        I think it's very expressive !

        Below you will see two photos of a metallic model, the kind you find in souvenirs shops. Maybe it can inspire you for "dirtying" your model ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Pretty good model ๐Ÿ˜„ I didn't think of dirtying, just maybe make my plane more "natural". In general, we'll see.
        And, here it is with hidden lines. They are messy in some places ๐Ÿ˜„

          Actually it's because of their weight/wing size ratio ๐Ÿ˜†

            Of course you're free to shape the prop however you want to, but as you were asking for problems/errors...
            Such props were typically tapered much narrower closer to the hub/root. And they were usually rotating in the other direction too (clockwise when seen from the pilot).
            Here's a model of a plane quite similar to yours, the Sikorsky S-16: http://www.essmc.org.au/jonbuncess16.html

              I'm surprised nobody has suggested tricking it out with few machine guns, missile launchers and maybe some laser cannons and a cloaking device ๐Ÿคฃ

                My prop is rough, it lacks finesse, I agree. ๐Ÿ˜‰ i'm gonna to make smtg like this:

                  Hmmm, are you talking about a bee? Or plane? In fact, I intend to install a couple of big guns on it))

                      Hmmm....hadn't thought of the bee, now that would be interesting (although with it's undersized wings it might also need a warp engine)

                        Warp?

                            Nah, just add a Flux Capacitor, why warp speed if you have time travel.

                              Yeah, I'd go for that, if I could install it in one of my oldies (that dang Delorean is just not my style ๐Ÿ˜† )

                                  I don't know if Pete got the word that the speed of light may have been exceeded by some overclocking Neutrinos. Warp drive may not be off the table.
