Do you have any reference of the back pistons? The 2 brass diamond shapes and the frame they attach to that goes under the batteries and the chair? All of that has been guess work in my model so far.

I have, too. I managed to get some blueprints, and behind the scenes photos from someone, too, though the blueprints are VERY low resolution, and parts are out of proportion compared to the final prop.

I think I've got the measurements for the Ashcroft gauge down.

This is the most recent sighting of the prop that I could find. They don't walk much around other parts of it, but at least it's a very detailed view of the Dishes.

I think these measurements might be wrong? I've roughly modelled the chair in 3d from this, and scaled a side profile of the time machine, and it comes out at around 14 feet wide in total, way bigger than the 10 feet I'd been working from, based on an interview.
I've found another of these chairs for auction online, and it says 25 1/2 inches wide there, instead of the 29 1/2 it says here.

Brilliant work on the model!
In case you don't already have this and for anyone interested, there's this nice little video by Dreamworks behind the scenes as they were making the TM.
Even though the quality's poor there's some great reference of the construction and framing and configuration of things that become hidden once all the rest of it is put together.

Not sure where i found this, and can't find anything online, but i imagine it's a feature on the dvd.

I found an interview with Oliver Scholl about the machine. The lables on the now-broken links are agonising.

They do a lot of quick flashes on them in the video you sent me, you might be able to patchwork some together.
So, I managed to patchwork together the blueprints they quickly flash through in one section here, and it seems that my current blueprints from reference are pretty close.Brilliant work on the model!

Plus, the 2 clearest shots from Tim Wilcox's monitor, straightened out in photoshop. I think from these, we can get the pretty exact shape of the outer and inner focusing panels. Unfortumately, I can't read any actual numbers from these for dimensions.

Oh nice! Where are these from? I feel like I've seen the last one before somewhere.

Reverse searching the last image, I found a load more on the Time Machine Concept website.

(Also, turns out the quick flashes in the behind the scenes video are from this same image.)

So, I think I just hit the jackpot. I was checking Oliver Scholl's portfolio website last time i wanted to make this model, and it was constantly down for maintenance. I just decided to try again, since it's been around 9 months, and it's back up. And not only that, but there are 4K photos of the machine on set, along with super high res scans of a few of the concept images, along with (what I think is) the full final blueprint. None of these images came up from google searches since he has html protections on them to stop you from downloading them.
