Here is a picture of the one I made for my brother at the same time. He has out only during the summer months and it is looking pretty good yet. Mine which is out early spring to late fall was in pretty bad shape and had to be refurbished.

These kits are great projects for beginners and use up a far amount of scrap wood for those who want to thin the pile. You can even steal my paint pattern if you want.

Those are really nice. Here in Kansas they would spin so fast that they might take off. Is your paint pattern a pattern that you could share?

Ya line up the 'sticks' flat, paint whatever ya want, when paint dries rotate each stick a bit.

This is the pattern I made up and then cut out stencils out of chipboard. Blue back ground then sprayed the white stars, then, white background and sprayed red stripes.
