It's a paperweight (for very large papers)

Close, its definitely for holding something down

So glad to see you back. The Church imagery is beyond stunning.
As for your personal project, it looks to me like it is a mounting platform for The Antikythera mechanism, or a really large septic field "D" box.
Welcome back. -

It may seem like I've only ever worked on this project bit its not true, ITS NOT TRUE I TELL YOU!!!
They've either been for too boring or in the case of the prison far to sensitive to show.
This is a little something I'm having fun with for my own self gratification, can you guess what it is?You said it yourself. It is a self-gratification machine.

I've just kicked off this weekends panorama, I've set Twilight to save it every 10mins to my dropbox folder.
Here's a link to it:Twilight tends to create big jpegs (opening and resaving them usually halves their size) so be warned if you chose to view it. It could be 10Mb or more hence why I've done a URL link and not an IMG link here.
As I said it'll be updated every 10mins so it'll get more refined as time goes on.

You try holding an iPhone next your your ear with an iPad at arms length and spinning on the spot. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd sensibly had my 11am whisky it'd been a lot worse.

Nope
I'll give you a clue, Inside the VAB an S-IC, S-IIB, S-IVB, LM,SM and CM are stacked on an MLP/LUT and then taken using the CT to either LC39A or LC39B whereupon the CT parks the MLP/LUT upon 6 of the things above
Come on I'm practically drawing you a picture
-
Tiedowns for the Mobile Launch Platform
VAB - Vehicle Assembly Building
S-IC, S-IIB, S-IVB, LM,SM and CM - Vehicle stages
MLP/LUT - Mobile Launch Platform/Umbilical Tower
CT - Crawler Tractor
LC39A or LC39B - Launch Pads -

How many whiskies did you say you had?

Mr James is quite right.
I got the as built drawings for the Mobile launch platform/Launch umbilical tower for the SaturnV, the scale of it is just fantastic. 78 pages of what you see below!I've seen a few models but I fancied doing my own, There are lots of photos of the Saturn V but finding good reference photos of the launch platform is hard work.

You'd think that with something this massive they could have sprung for something a little beefier than those '49 Buick shock absorbers
-
If I've understood it right, they're adjusters. the top and bottom connectors are threaded into the centre section and it's 8 sided like a big nut. Turning it with what must be the mother of all spanners would enable them to adjust the tie down's angle. That part of the drawing was hard to read.
There are 2 ball joints (one at the top, one at the bottom) within the tie down post. I asume they'd have to adjust the tie downs position due to thermal expansion etc on the Launch platform.
-
This project is staggering. Wow. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all your fabulous WIP shots. Thanks for posting.

really great stuff. Nice idea with the panoramas. Very inspiring!
I have some problems with twilightrender with huge models and big imagesizes. Mostly twilightrender gets stuck.
