powerrabbit Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You can find some really nice turntables, I bought a plain black one from a toyfair a couple of years ago and that also is either battery or mains adaptor powered, I cut a circle of green baize to cover the black felt top. Found a large one at a boot sale a bit later with a mirrored deep side the same style as a glitterball. I've also seen glass (or maybe perspex) tall display cases/cabinets that revolve as well.

powerrabbit Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Logic tells me that to be able to see detail beneath a model would require it to be elevated off the mirror. Perhaps on a pair of clear perspex 'tressels' across the axles to support the model or four axle stands. Is that a good idea or not?!

Lord Ferguson Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Superb idea Tim... and that kind of thing is available to jewelers too I reckon mate The greater the space... the better the viewing angle I guess mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbear Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I can't decide if I prefer a mirrored bottom or a black bottom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
