Love, love, and adore. I’ve seen the plans, drooled over them, and thought that’s wayyy out of my league. So happy you made it look even better.

Have you sent those pictures to the guy you bought the original from? I believe it would totally freak him out,

pubultrastar · October 3, 2020, 4:38pm

I’ve e-mailed him some pics, but no response yet.

Aloha Mike…that orrery is a “WOW!!!”

Spectacular work and amazing detail. YOU are the reason that I ask builders for pictures. I absolutely love seeing this kind of builder creativity.

Thank you for sharing these pictures of your beautiful and unique Copernican Planetary Orrery. You certainly have created an orrery you can be quite proud of, and thank you for doing the CPO plans so proud.

Enjoy! Aloha. Clayton

OMG! You’re amazing!

This is so amazing! You kick everything up 20 notches! We are very fortunate to have you in our forum … feeding us so many items to inspire us. Thank you!

When our daughter was in girl scouts (many, many years ago), the troop spent the night at the Neil Armstrong Space Museum in Wapakoneta, OH. We broke off into groups and made our own solar system. We all had a great time.

May not be able to resist those marbles!

That’s just not fair. You should have to disclose that you are a wizard.

pubultrastar · October 5, 2020, 5:09pm

Not officially. I don’t have a cool hat or staff yet.

arh2 · October 6, 2020, 11:52am

But I know you do have a staff!
