I wonder if I could do something with it?

Make it into a watch resembling flight MH370.

I rather like the idea of making tasteful watch case for a reasonable movement.

Neil,

Although you probably had a wristwatch in mind; the video here is a joy.

Edit: I just found this page; which has some useful drawings of the Smiths Military wristwatch case … Should give you a good idea of what's involved.

I wonder what reward Edmund Hilary got for that endorsement? And I wonder if it had the same level of spurious authenticity as Chris Bonnington's 'How that beefy taste cheered us'?

Good to see you're keeping abreast of modern technology and taking "model" engineering to a whole new level! Probably going to be a stiff breeze in here when feathers start getting ruffled though!!

Regards Martin.

Good grief Nick!

Here I am on the sofa, just about to start my cocoa, and your post pops up on the iPad! I think I'd better go and have a lie down! …… And there I was thinking what could be interesting about a " lump of skanky old metal" …"……..You have a ready supply of fashion models available ??? – good grief man why are you wasting your time in the workshop!

I am not as young as I was.

Besides I have to have some sanity in my life away from the nut-nut conversations that seem to dominate their lives.!

I live with one and when others call I am invariably left punch drunk with mental exhaustion. They communicate with each other at machine gun burst speeds (all at the same time) I am also convinced that it is in a different language and an encrypted code impossible for anyone with male genes to decipher.

Workshop is a stable enclave of harmony, tranquility and peace.

I have gone back to look at your bit of rusty plate but there seems to be a person in front of it. I have studied it closely but still can't make out the detail. Will have another look later.
