I've recently come into possession of a Scrub n' Buffer shell and will very soon be beginning work on converting it into a gigameter. I'm excited to get started on this as the giga is my holy grail in terms of props, ever since seeing GB2 when I was three I have wanted one. Naturally I want to do the best job I can with it and retain all the functions of the original.
I've sketched out some rough ideas on how I plan to make all the functions possible, microphone movement, spinning dome etc. Having the shell in hand the giga is a lot smaller than it seems on screen and space is going to be very tight inside, particularly in the microphone attachment.
I've already began searching for suitable motors that will power the dome and the microphones but was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions? Size is the main factor, i'm trying to find a small yet powerful motor that can fit in the microphone attachment. The RPM seems to be an issue too, though I've seen some really dinky motors, their used in mobile phones as the vibrate and the RPM is way to high, the microphones would be a blur!
If anyone can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate the help
