My 1:16 adventure

[labdad]

I finished the last machine for the 1/16 machine shop.
I looked at several vintage pieces and decided on this.
All scratch built except the pulley, the "stones" those are Drexel polishing wheels the curved I beam is a leftover from my Oldsmobile build. Chuck Doan rendered it and I had it printed in brass.
Brass tube for the top part and aluminum for the column and base.

Worked on the turntable.
Wall is carved foam (the pink stuff 1" thick)
I cut it down to 1.5" tall and 3/8" thick.

The turntable looks amazing!!!!! Checked your machine shop and I have to say if that isn't "Museum Quality" I don't know what is....fantastic.

Thanks guys!
Working on the shop lights.
If the belts, shifters and light wiring doesn't send me to the loony bin I should be good.
