Custom '1/6 Monitoring Desk'
This project originally started some years ago. I am about to finish the commissions and since in the meantime many parts of the original concept were improved I wanted to fully update the old thread but it turned out to become to confusing. To ensure nothing gets mixmatched I created this new thread. All further progress will be posted here.

The Built
Precisely machined metal parts (final versions)
Tests with the custom sized lighting elements. It works great, also at daylight. I pre-asembled all units in the meantime.
High resolution 3D parts, very pleased with the quality. They are currently beeing molded and casted.
Joint tests for the articulated monitor arms, this is something I'm pretty proud of, as it will be done with lots of miniature ball bearings. Works really good and very precisely.
This piece is something I wanted in my collection ever since I started collecting things from TDK, looking forward to finish these for you.
No open list atm
