Electric meter and circuit box model

I just finished making an electric meter and circuit box for the rock shop in Dos Manos. The boxes were made of styrene, then I made a silicone mold and cast duplicates out of resin. The “glass” dome was turned from a 1/4" diameter acrylic rod, using a hand-held drill as a crude lathe. Underneath the dome is a vinyl sticker I printed out, with a photo of an electric meter on it. . . . . . . . .

Ray, Once again you’ve created an amazingly life-like model of an everyday item which most of us never think to include in a project. Looks really great. Thanks for sharriing. Jack

I would almost bet the circuit box is a working on/off switch.

As usal you have surpassed us all…

That looks more realistic than my own real electric meter outside my house. Great job! - Peter

Ray you never cease to amaze me. I’m afraid to ask, do the dials actually turn?

Have fun, Rob

Thanks! Nope, the dials don’t turn.

Ray - Like most of your creations. I sat here looking at the picts and eventually picked my jaw off the table. Nice nice work. Shu
