Gerry Anderson's Stingray

Stand by for action!

I want a small scale Stingray to round out my shelf of Gerry Anderson stuff. However, none of the available models are accurate or detailed for my liking.
So that means I'm going to throw styrene and putty at it until I make my own.

I found a place that has good othrographic views, and while it more complicated than I've done before, it's something I think I can manage.

The problem however is the impeller. It's a very complicated piece that I would like to be somewhat accurate.
One thought is to use a lid from a tube of something, but It might take a while of measuring things in shops with calipers...

I'm hoping that someone here has a good way to scratch build something like that quickly and easily.
 
Your best bet might be to get someone to 3d print you one in clear resin. It should not be a difficult item to model in CAD if you can provide the dimensions.
 
Might help

I'm planning on getting a resin 3d printer as a birthday/Christmas present for myself, so might be something I have to wait for...
