Hello all,
My Tellurian arrived in the mail. It's almost perfect! A few small changes and it will be perfect.
A Tellurian is a model of the movement of the earth and its moon in relation to the sun. This movement includes the orbit of the moon around the earth, the earth sinning on its own axis, and the orbit of the earth around the sun, while keeping it's tilt.
Soon it will be available for sale. I designed in parts to be printed in WSF material, or metal if it is approved.
Here is the product page with more pictures:

Thanks for looking!

This will look awesome if it can be done in metal!

I've been thinking of doing a model that moves in the first mathematically correct yet flawed version of planetary movement, where everything revolved around the earth but in swirls. It was actually accurate to find the positions, and showed true human ingenuity to make it so the Solar system actually did revolve around the earth.

Yes, waiting for metal approval does seem to require some patience, as I well know.

Instead of a bulge, to counter act the weight of the Earth and Moon, have you considered making a little wire Rocket Ship?
