well i jsut recently had found an old lego train set with a motor and i was in need of a gear peice because i would need it to make zimmerate. any ways once i pulled the case apart it looked almost like a real motor. i got thinking and dug around a bit more adn found an old four wheeler toy with all the components like shocks adn things wich got me thinking. so here i am with this motor i just built the head fan the top of the motor and the toop plates for the side of the motor. now the fan blades were furbished from some scrap plastic wich was actually side skirt bits removed from my tiger 1 wich is being refurbished aswell. now the blades were cut filed adn glued to one of the rings that was with the motor so it spins freely. now i also built the bas out of copper wire and some thin peices of sheet aluminum or tin (not sure) that is from a floppy disk cover. i made the head screw panels from side skirt screw panels wich was from the tiger one side skirt.well there is some work ahead of me but i hope it will turn out ok im going to attempt som pics of this. i am not good at this for some reason cannot get it right.
