I like what I have so far in the attached file, but how can I fill in the blades of the windmill with a solid color? Please advise.
Thanks in advance for the help.

BTW, if the attachment doesn't make it through, I also posted the file here: http://pastebin.parentnode.org/13667

I'm not sure if what you want to do is what I did with your image in the attached file. What I did was:
* With the node tool, selected the ending nodes of the "closing" stroke and the last node of the "V" shape of the fan blade, then selected the "join ending nodes" button (first to the right of the add/delete node buttons in the toolbar) to join both segments to either side. Then brought up the stroke and fill window to change the fill color from colorless to red, leaving the stroke in black to illustrate. The "window"-like shape in dotted lines, I selected it and "erased" its fill and placed it at the top of the stack (selection tool and the right-most button just to the left of the coordinates entries). Hope this is what you wanted.
Yeah, that's perfect thanks! Is there are tutorial for that technique anywhere that I missed?

Hi Greg,
You can check out a complete and easy tutorial at the following link: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.html

Hmm, I can't get this work on my own now. It just keeps telling me "To join, you must have two endnodes selected". I think I'm selecting them?

To successfully select two nodes, you need to keep shift pressed (if selecting individual nodes) or draw a selection box around the two nodes you want.
Greg.
I looked at your image. A better way to do this in the future is to use the pen tool continuously. From what see, it looks like you drew individual segments of the triangle piece. If you draw the segments continuously and end up back where you started everything will be connected, and you won't have to bother going back in select/join individual nodes.
