Hi Gang
I posted pics before of some of the work by one of our club members Richard L. I posted pics of the M1A1 Abrams tank that he did as well some other stuff but I think that he outdid himself with one.
The project was done with no plans just drawings that he did himself and he worked out the mechanics himself as he went along.
The hand crank drives a set of three gears that pick up the marbles and deposits them into the different paths at the top and then they can take different paths to the bottom. He does not even want to think about the number of hours involved but I am sure that there are MANY!! ENJOY

I have been trying to flip that image and could not do it. I tried flipping it on the desktop so it was upside down and it was upside down when I posted so I flipped it back right side up and it was upside down when I posted again. Could not get it to move and stay up right. HOW YOU DO DAT

Copied your posted pix to clip board.

Pasted it into Irfanview.

Rotated 90° twice.

Saved it.

Not really! Merely following directions posted above. ;)

Methinks the 'secret' is to use Irfanview. :cool:

Or you can open the image using Windows Photo Viewer, rotate it and then save it.
