Memories of Orrery

I have made several of these kits from this company (mainly to keep from going insane during self isolation). That's the first thing I decided to change a bit. It wasn't the easiest of buildings. Some parts are quite fragile so a light touch is required. While you could make this set without glue, I decided to jazz up a few areas a bit. I also disassembled and reassembled it several times to make sure the gears were running smoothly. It would be nice if the jukebox played something more appropriate instead of memories, such as Fly Me to the Moon or StarDust. I decided to draw it myself and threw away all the beads except the one depicting the sun. I ordered wooden beads and painted them to look like our solar system. It works as long as the music box spins fully, only then does it really have enough power to spin the planets. Be careful when winding and be careful when holding. But overall it was fun and I'm happy with the result. I want this company to take on the Antikythera movement next time.
