how to model a ship propeller

I am building a 1;192 scale model of the USS Zellars DD-777 (1/16" = 1') And I learned that this ship had 2 propellers. Each propeller had 4 blades and that the propellers were 12 feet in diameter. Scaled down thats about 3/4 inches diameter.


I have been able to find only one photograph of a propeller. This photograph is from a similar class of ship. (see image)


Does anyone know how to model something like this? I sure could use some help.


Thanks in advance
