I finished this 2500 model a few days ago. It's a model of a 25.6 foot disc so it is 17 and 3/8 inches scale. There are 64 discs and I decided to notch the front gangs as the sales brochure says it was an option. It raises, lowers, and folds like the real disc. Here are a couple photos: http://s270.photobucket.com/user/ACmodels/media/2500%20Disc%20027%201600x1200.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  This is a photo showing the comparison to the 2600 model I posted earlier: http://s270.photobucket.com/user/ACmodels/media/2600%20Disk/2500%20Disc%20026%201600x1200.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

| Those are very nice! The notched blades blades give it a unique touch I think. I bet it took a lot of extra time too. DO you have another picture of down lower so we can see the blades better? |

Dave, here's a couple pictures of the discs. Also one of the punch and fixture I came up with to make them. http://s270.photobucket.com/user/ACmodels/media/2500%20Dual%20Fold%20Disc/015%201600x1200.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s270.photobucket.com/user/ACmodels/media/2500%20Dual%20Fold%20Disc/017%201600x1200.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s270.photobucket.com/user/ACmodels/media/2600%20Disk%20003%201024x768.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

| That's very cool. I don't think I've ever seen a model with the notched blades. Definitely gives it a personal touch. I suppose it wasn't too bad once you got your fixture all made up for the punch. Still an amazing amount of time. |
