Rolling ball rig test

First test of the completed rolling boulder rig for my Indiana Jones Adventure set model.

Works a treat, despite so many changes with regards to the drive mechanism.
A belt drive resulted in a slightly staggered roll and mounting the drive motor to the side of the ball left it visible from the front viewing angle.

Finally decided to drive the motion from the rear with a sponge "tyre", which meant everything moves at the correct, steady speed and is concealed completely behind the ball itself.
