AUTOart Motorized turntable for your 1/6 stuff

Fellow collectors. Today I share a vid with you that I made last week on a turntable i bought on eBay from producer AUTOart. Maybe you find it useful and get one as well.

Pros:

• mirrored surface
• power of cable or battery
• 12" in diameter
• 2 speed options

Cons:

• mirrored surface not completely even, its just plastic, you get some distortions - but not a big problem since you don't look from above
• bit cheaply made, just plastic all the way
• you hear some noise of the turning wheel

But all in all a cool way to support the presentation of your stuff.

Rewire Hot Toys Mech-Test Tony Stark 1/6

Just was checking the batteries on my Hot Toys Mech-Test Tony Stark figure. The wiring going into the battery pack is quite fragile so it happened that one of the plus / minus cables going to one of the palm-LEDs totally fly out of the connector.


By the way: It seems that it is a common issue on this figure that the pins in the white connector are a bit loose so that a flickering in the palm LEDs can happen. So be sure to check this out before going through my rewire steps.


Not having a soldering bolt I tried another way - enjoy this tutorial vid:
