Build a model solar system..

My build a model solar system, took me a year to collect and about 3 days to build. was fun and here it is.

@HKVictory : no need to reverse electrical flow. there's a 'button' to change rotation.

Way out of proportion. That's why I hate solar models they use in school.

@TinkeringJohn Hi John! Thank you for the advice! will try it out as soon as I can...

@catacombs87 The problem is not the gears. The engraved gear that the earth gear meshes with is screwed to the moon gear arm. The hole in this arm is a little bigger than the central column so when the locking screw is tightened, it throws the engraved gear off center. The earth gear binds when it gets to the side of the engraved gear that extends out too far. One way to fix this is to loosen the screw that holds the engraved gear to the moon gear arm allowing it to give a little.

Hey there. Sorry to bother but was wondering if you could help me on this. Am collecting the series and building the model right now - the problem lies with the rotation of the Earth around the sun. While the earth rotates around the sun smoothly along 2/3s of the engraved plate, it chokes up at the remaining third. Did you have to file down any teeth of the gear to make it run smoothly?

The orbiting direction of the planets around the Sun demonstrated by this model is wrong, they should be navigating anti-clockwise, not clockwise. Reverse the flowing direction of the electrical current which passes through it will do...

I wasn't impressed at the design of the planets that I have recieved, can't you get the planets from the original " HAND DRAWN" designs. When did Jupiter have the poorly designed red spot.
