Hello from Perth Western Australia,
I have quite a few builds on at the moment, an FFG, FFH, COLLINS CLASS submarine all in 72 scale my main build is a 72 scale USS Constellation CV64. I have been building it on and off for 6 years. Due to age and illness, mainly illness I have had to remote control the dolly that carries her into the water. I ended up losing all 4 props last Sunday, found two and will keep looking for the other two. Keith Bender from PropMeUp made the props, he is a talented machinist. If anyone knows if he is still doing this, please let him know I need another set.
The link below shows progress so far.

Great news, I have found all 4 props. With the help of my nephew, a scuba tank and a couple of the crew from Task Force 72. I will still get a second set that will stay polished for show days.
 
I have long fancied something on that scale, ever since seeing film of the ships on Peasholm Park. Never saw them working though. Mounting an electric outboard inboard would work well in today’s age though.

J - slightly envious, but I’d never be able to keep it hidden from First Mate.
