Scratch building a whirly gig

I always did like the idea making someday a Whirly gig.
My first attempt was the image of a flying cocky. I surged for some acceptable photos and made a rough drawing of it.It did not take very long to finish it. After mounting it on a cage I grow my beans on the gig looked just great.So that I wanted to make a more stand out one. And the Red Baron came to mind. I wanted it to look substantial and symbolic only, so it is only very loosely based on the original measurements.
