Further progress

I was informed that my control panel is STILL too high for the client's taste, and so had to cut down the poles again to make it waist height.

Continued to paint the rest of the model today (decided on the dark "Dramatic" blue for the base to match the sphere, and "Chocochip" brown for the stands) including some touch-ups.

Jason helped me again to make more widgets to add onto it and will be attached as soon as I have finished painting. We planned to drill holes into the sphere to place wire connections through it, with steam meters, tubes and gas instruments.
