That looks good there Patrick. :wink
Are you gonna putty it to soften the curves,or leave it as is?

The four curves where the joints are,or would be in theory. The rang isn't really flat...only in some areas. It curves upward and downward more gradually as it meets the jointed areas.
No big deal,just curious.

Re: my '89 rang prototype FINALLY finished.. PICS!
Oh, I had no idea it wasnt completely flat. You mean the surface itself along the length of the joints or at the edges near the joints? In the case of the surface itself not being flat, I think I'm gonna leave it the way it is, or I might screw it up even more. :p I'd like to eventually make a completely accurate one, but I'm pretty proud of this one. :)

Re: my '89 rang prototype FINALLY finished.. PICS!
Oh,and you most certainly should be proud. That's awesome.
But yes,as you described. :wink
Most of the end pieces are flat,but then a gradual curve up,then slighty more dramatic to the 'peak',then rollercoaster with a few small flat spots in the middle sections,then on to the other side.
The way I did mine was similar to yours,but I used clay. It started off flat,then I added more clay to build up those areas,then sanded like crazy til it was uniform,smooth,etc.

Re: my '89 rang prototype FINALLY finished.. PICS!
I think I might make the blades a teency bit longer though... maybe add some length on with clay directly before I mold it. Those blades are awesome, but they ended up being a bit shorter than I counted on. And they're not going to be metal when I cast it like the prototype is now(that would kick ass though), because I don't have the means or skills to machine it. Oh well.

Re: my '89 rang prototype FINALLY finished.. PICS!
That's an interesting take on it, looks like the blades on the end come popping out with the push of a button or something.
