i had orders to get things tidied up, so built my self a small woktable from an old stool we had lying around, also when tidying i was about to throw out an old record turntable, when i had the idea to screw the pivot and turntable base to the worktable. now when i need to work on the rigging i can easily just spin the model around to get to the other side.

The turntable would also be great for spray painting small things aswel, if you have lots to do without touching them to turn them round. Just prey the mrs doesnt mind the paint next time she's decorating the cake LOL you could always cover it first, but wheres the fun in that? Live a little... just not for long LOL LOL
