Those are cool! Tough choice on those options. I guess little electric motors wit you standing nearby, growling are out?

That would be the best option but no. Since I'm planning on taking this to Omaha, I don't believe I'll turn on a switch and make engine noises while hiding under the table.
Assuming I can save up for it :hmm:

I like the prop blur but both options look good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

I prefer the blur disc more than the no blade look… that no blades reminds me of when I was a kid and broke off the blades accidentally…

Personally I'm not a fan of prop blurs, I prefer to go with no blades - but neither method is ideal.

Your Sunderland is coming akong well, those pilots are awesome!

Well I'm going to try them both. First off I need to get rid of these HORENDOUS joins. Eee gad!
I went with the nuclear option here...super glue and a file

with the major surgery out of the way I was able to apply a little salve to the injurys

When that's dry I can get in there with some sandpaper and eventually get it all smooth, then re-scribe.
