My 702 aermotor windmill si making some progress. I’ve just added the sails to the wheel.
After building the tower and building the wheel’s structure (hub and spokes) now comes the difficult task of adding the sails to the wheel. Most of the parts are made out of aluminum others with styrene. In order to glue them together I used contact glue. It’s not that easy to apply without making a mess, but is my favorite glue for this type of material mixes.
- I cut all the sails, sail ribs, and spoke braces out of aluminum.
- I cut both, the inner and the outer wheel band out of styrene.
- I mounted the inner wheel band on the on the spoke braces.
- I put 3 sail ribs on 3 sails and mounted 3 sails on one outer wheel band segment.
- I inserted the spokes through the outer band.
- I glued the sails the inner band.
- Then I repeated steps 4-6 for each segment of 3 sails.

Hola Guillermo, te agradezco el mensaje. Si, como ves me fascina la precisión. Me encanta meterle mucho detalle a las cosas en general, no solo las maquetas. Siempre fui muy detallista.
Saludos!
