I have seen a few scale flat bed truck models on the forums featuring a wind turbine blade as it's load. Does anyone know were the model blades are sourced? Asking for a friend;-)

I was hoping they were either 3D printed or more likely resin cast due to their extreme size. I watched a video yesterday of the production of s 351' (!)long single blade in French factory. That single blade in 1/25 would be three ft long!

It would be fourteen feet long in 1/25.

That would be one heck of an impressive model. I mean gee, with good cross-section drawings, it would be *somewhat* easy to make. 
 

It think it could also be done as a 3D print, in multiple pieces. I say go for it. People would remember it forever.

i can get drawings if anyone wants them, most designs have been tested locally before going into full production as all the test equipment is based here.
