I have always loved taking things apart, and keeping the resulting junk.
I have decided to put it together into a spaceship of some kind. However I like working models, so here goes
(sorry camera phone wrong way round)
the front wheel is the inside of a motor from a vhs player, to me it looks like an engine of some futuristic kind. It also spins.
so a quick rummage in my parts bins.
and
the motor is from a childs toy, the frame work (better seen in previous photo) is from a clock and the black disk joining the parts together is from a cd player.
a quick 1/2 hour later and it works. (finding the correct grub screw to connect the motor to the frame without fouling the inside of the motor) it dosent quite sit straight yer because I want the front part to come of so it keeps the color when I finally paint it all.
Next after another rummage.
The inside of my daughters old hair dryer. the sheath was reversed and stuck on the other end then inserted into a pringles tube.
The fan still works a little wiring later and both spin (with some led lights it will look pretty good. But whats the point in doing this work if nobody sees the inner workings. So
now to find a greebly to fit between the two (I will probably keep the foil inner of the tube when painting Just age it a little)
Even though it looks very little there is about 3 hours work in this so far...
will keep you posted if you want.
