XD Avenger Customization

Post by tmanthegreat » Sat Nov 04, 2006 9:10 pm

Here are a couple photos showing a quick modification I made to the torpedo that comes with the XD Avenger. As you all know, the torpedo is missing its propeller (and also doesn't have the correct wooden fins, though that's a different story). Well, I got tired of looking at my prop-less torpedo hanging inside the bombay so I customized my own propeller with one that came from an old Playmobil toy outboard motor. I painted it gold and filled in the center hole with putty. The results came out well, I think :wink:

It is not accurate to the actual propeller used on this type of torpedo (which had four blades) but looks better than the stump that was there before :D
