Thank you. I dread to think how long I spent looking for the lamp. These are known as 'Student Candelabras' a lot of which got converted from candle power to electric light. Mine is a cheat as it is still intended for use with candles, however I converted a white oval lampshade into something resembling the original with black spray paint and stick-on gold car trim!absolutely incredible! and good work finding the same make of table lamp. i’m also pleased to say that dr mopp will likely be finished within a week!
(i hate to say it but i do believe the box is blue instead of black, seems a bit late now though)
I'm intrigued to see how you get on with Dr. Mopp. My Mopp-mobile arrived last week and I've just added a starting handle, I would really like to be able to sort out a figure to sit in it. I acquired a Harrop 'life-size' Dr Mopp who stands 9" tall (including hat but excluding stand) to act as a template for creating a wire frame model, but it seems rather too chunky to fit in the car. I'm still thinking of what might be the best way of attaching the head to a wireframe to allow it to turn.
