Hey! So, I'm working on a 3D Model replica of the time machine from The Time Machine (and potentially a scale real model too if it works out) but I have no scale for the prop. The closest I have is someone in an interview saying it's roughly 10 feet in diameter in total, which leaves a lot of wiggle room.
One thing I want to try, is to find the parts on the machine that are real world parts, and their scales, and use those as reference to base the rest on.
I've attached a few of the parts on the machine which I think are real world parts.
- I believe one is a Weston Voltmeter, however I can't find one with a single word in bold at the top of the plaque, as their seems to be in this highest resolution photo I could find.
- The chair is a Hercules barber chair, however I can't find an example of that 1900 model in leather, so that may be custom?
- One of the gauges is an Ashcroft locomotive gauge, 200psi, but I can't find that size, with that style of gauge on it.
