Small but very satisfying addition & fun to animate, I introduce the case support (ta-da). #VirtualM209 #tnmoc #bletchleypark

I've been having fun modelling and animating the letter counter on #VirtualM209 this morning. Also, this week have been starting to add the complex case modifications on the left side required for the printer mechanism to go into. #tnmoc #bletchleypark

A couple of new components added to #VirtualM209 this week which connect some of the other parts together. Here's a quick explanation of how they work. Need to start thinking about how to do the print mechanism soon! #tnmoc #bletchleypark #cryptomuseum

#VirtualM209 - the letter selector dial now added. You would use this to set the letter you want to encipher/decipher, then turn the advance handle. The cage moves the dial on several turns, changing the letter being printed onto the paper. #tnmoc #bletchleypark

Lots of work done this week on #VirtualM209, the casing is now almost completed.
The ghosted part is a CT scan of a real machine by Deutsches Museum.
Don't know about you, but I'm really excited about this one, it's looking awesome already!

Starting work on the #VirtualM209 casing today.
Some interesting shapes to work out, but trying to follow the Deutsches Museum CT scan as close as possible.

Couldn't help myself - had to try creating some Hagelin M-209 rotors from the Deutsches Museum CT scans this morning. I'm thinking a #VirtualM209 is a definite possibility. #tnmoc #bletchleypark
