Nice start, Cor. When completed will it be a powered model or static display?

Looks like a fine set of etchings! It's a very strange little beast, an excellent choice for a model.

The journals seem to be brass castings. Or did you build them up from etched parts? -- Russ

bill, the model will be powered

Russ, the journals can be made from the etch, but somebody draw them as 3d with the option to buy them on shapeways
