So I have been working on something in the past day and I would like to show it to you guys. This one is only a prototype of my build but I will probably make a better version. But anyway, here it is. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.

Quick update on my fast progress. Also, this will be the last version of this hurricane because it was too complex to put all the pieces together so I'm working on V2 a smaller but a lot more realistic version.

Decent... the top could be raised and flattened out.

I'm working on a 3d model that will probably be my final because it looks nicer and the bottom curve is also a lot more of a curve.

I can't wait to see that. Will it have working guts?

If I can find the right parts yes. Otherwise, it will have fake realistic guts that will just have a loud speaker

I remember making a Whelen 4004 in a similar fashion to this, Super cool, i might try to make one like this as well

IIRC, the WPS-4000-X can do voice, and the Vortex cannot. The Vortex also has a rectangle-shaped rotator box while the 4004 has a square-shaped one.

The reason the rotators are different is because the 4004's rotator is made for voice, meaning it's made so it can stop in 4 directions to project voice. The Vortex's rotator isn't made for that
