Anyone know a fairly simple way to make a propeller in LW?

In the March issue of 3D_World mag you have a tut how to make propeller in Rhino. I think that it can be applied to LW to. As I can see (from that tutorial) the most important thing is to have good backdrop/blueprint image of propeller.

tat would have been great.. but i had no images or anything to go from and it wasnt important enough to look for material. However from spenidng a lot of time around boats i seemed to know the basics enough to pull one off. surprisingly i thought i would use vortex for some or most of it. i didnt even touch it. Although it doesnt look like i wanted it to specifically if i was working harder on it i trhink i could get it to do what i want.
