What is Wayne Building - Part 9...
Here's something I thought of the other day while at the swapmeet in Anaheim. I need a new desk clock. I know that the old 911 and 356 clocks work using a coil that winds a spring-loaded clock every 45 seconds or so. This type of clock can be easily run on a battery. I've always liked the look of the 356 clock, so I found one and had it adjusted / repaired. Then I bought a 356 piston (I think it was $2). My buddy, Erich bead blasted it, and cut a hole in the center. Add the clock, a seal, some batteries, and a 356 / 550 4-cam connecting rod as the base, and you have a really neat desk clock!

I like the 356 clock because it has twelve numbers, unlike the 911 and 912 green-faced clocks. Thanks for all the kind words. On another note, the 935 full-sized model construction continues! -Wayne |

That's a Jäger Tamiya 934 in 1/12th scale. Very cool model - they are available on eBay but they can be pretty darn pricey.
