Are you referring to the slider on the base connected to the front? If so, yes it can point down.

Although, I mostly put it there because it is so much heavier towards the backside that over time it slowly points itself upwards. I wanted it to stay level so I added that slider. That part was originally on an old record player console from the 60s so it's keeping with the parts theme.

However, you’re the one posting online in a public forum. Perhaps you could take the feedback and respond appropriately, not just be defiant and rude. Just a thought.

And as far as checking my credentials? I don’t see how that’s going to happen. Lol

And also? Don’t assume that you know what I want to see. You’ll be incorrect 10 out of 10 times.

First of all, I would like to check your expert level in the field of animation. Secondly, your version of what you want to see will make the scene twitchy, I don't need to specify what is right and what is not.

I wanted to share with you all a project that I created 4 years ago and recently just finished updating and upgrading.

You may have seen my rocket sculpture made entirely out of household items on the front page of r/gifs on reddit about 4 years ago:

I have learned a lot in the last few years doing DIY projects and decided I was ready to try cleaning up this rocket sculpture with more professional quality finishes.

One of the first questions most people ask is, "Why?", So I'll write a brief explanation.

As an adult I grew more and more interested in NASA and space exploration. One day I was picturing someone watching the moon landing as a kid and how exciting that must have been. I then imagined them running around looking for things to make their own rocket to play with.

So using only items that someone from the late 1960s would have access to in their home, I set out to create a one-of-a-kind rocket sculpture. It also helped that most my furniture is considered Mid Century and I enjoy Fallout style artwork.

If you are interested in seeing some of the DIY upgrade process I have an album with descriptions found here:

Reply to The turkeys at this sanctuary love their caretaker by lnfinity

My older brother was an asshole, and when we were 4 and 7, he told me the red thing under their chin is burning hot like lava as we watched some turkeys in a pen. Freaked me out.

I'm sitting here 40 years later thinking OH NO DON'T LET THEM TOUCH YOU as I watch..

I remember seeing that on Swap Shop one Saturday in 78... On TOTP she performed live (and insisted on being live). Still a great song (I prefer her first 3 albums to the later stuf...I'm old)
