This may come as a bit of an anticlimax after the Diablo, but I just finished a Miniland scale (12 wide) rendition of the time machine (...)

| | | | | Hey thats great!! I have two questions: 1. How do you build such great models in such sort time periods? I mean it hasn't even been a week since you posted about the Diablo. 2.How did you get al of the fiber optic lines to light at once? Once (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | | (...) This was probably done by using a long exposure time on the digital camera, hence capturing many lit fiber optic lines at once. The model is very nice!

BTW, the motor is a gray 4 x 5 x 2.33 stud box with an axle sticking out one of the 4 x 2.33 ends. The electrical contacts are (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
