A fun way of showcasing Minifigures

This is not about the minifigure!
I made this today:


Here's the whole thing:


When the big cog is turned by the small cog it slows the spin right down, so when you make the rotation horizontal you get a really smooth turntable effect.

SWEET!!! A very cool way to display custom minifigs, well done. I may try this one myself, giving you credit of course.

In the future I'd make the angle so that you can only see the minifigure. For this post it made sense, since it's about the "how".

You could also build this into a platform that you could build backgrounds/floors for!

Thanks for all the comments guys !

If you secure the axel at the other end of the worm gear you can remove the lurch at the start.

I'm not sure which end you mean. Can you note it on Flickr please? http://www.flickr.com/photos/fithboy/7964645658/

Noted.

I secured it and the jerk is now much less noticeable, thanks.

I'll put a Youtube embedded video up when it finishes uploading.

I like it a lot. Looks very nice!
