- Buildup of Masterpiece Models 1/6 scale Time Machine.
Unique features: The dish is driven by internal drive shafts and gears. The arms are hinged, the molded rivets are replaced with real brass rivets. The green coils actually conduct electricity to the 'Top' light.
Build time, about 2 months.
Wonderful model. One of my all time favorite Time Travel movies. Looks great, thanx for the post..
Fantastic !!!
Amazing work!
The 1960 Time Machine movie is THE BEST time travel movie ever made. It had warmth, charm, a great cast and believable special effects for the sensation of travelling through time. The musical score was very appropriate for the Victorian period of the film. The relationship between George and Filby gave an extra dimension to the story and was an integral part of the 1993 short sequel, "The Time Machine: The Journey Back" - guaranteed to bring years to your eyes! Russell Garcia told me that the "sound" the machine made was through a series of various musical instruments . If course, the machine itself was the real star of the film. It's sad, in a way, that no "outtakes" were saved. It is also sad the George Pal never made his hoped-for sequel. Would have been interesting! A sequel could still be made, however, only IF the original machine, it's sound and the stop-action special effects are used, remaining faithful to the original film. The story could be centered around George and Weena's son as the "new" time traveler - why not?
He has all the time in the world.
Excellent! Well done!
Incredible! I almost expected it to disappear.
I felt like a kid again when you threw that lever and the dish began to spin!
I wish this time machine could really travel into the future in real life like it does in the movie.
Wonderful, one of my favourite movies. Figures would be nice..
This is awesome!
Beautiful replica! The custom enhancements are really cool.
Fantastic build sir!
Wow!! I especially admire your attention to dish speed control and Victorian details. Big congratulations!!
Thank you.
Fabulous!
This is really beautiful. After seeing Guillermo del Toro's At Home With Monster's in Toronto at the AGO I've been a little obsessed with building one. He has a lovely little collection of Time Machine models in the exhibition.
I love time travel machine 🧐
Jeff, I'm glad you like it. A true labor of love.
Beautiful job Alan!!! I love it!
sweet
Hi Thomas,
I used some of the upgrade kit but the dish drive is all my design.
Very nice
Hi Geoffrey,
I did not use the kit supplied pot or voltage regulator. I bought a 10 amp PWM motor control and used a pot that I bought at the electronics store.
It was quite a challenge to get it all to work. The internal gearing was even more of a challenge.
See some pictures here.

This Time Machine is currently NOT FOR SALE, But thanks for asking..
Alan, is you model possibly available for sale now? Or, would you be willing to build another? Very nice job by the way.
Weren't you afraid of losing your model, when you switched it on? It could've traveled into the future or into the past :)
He switched it off before reaching 88 miles per hour..lol
That's actually a good thing. I saw this video about a year ago and now I'm still able to watch it a year into the future.
@@LorenzoNW I watched a vid of another guys build...he turned it up too much and it vanished!!
I bet your very proud of this piece of plastic.
He should be.
@@tboman4128 So are Chinese folks ! They make great plastic also !!!
Hi,
Yes, Bob Burns owns the original restored Time Machine prop. He lives in Burbank CA.
You can find a youtube video here. Search for Bob Burns Time Machine Prop.
Masterpiece models sells a 1/12 scale model kit for $112.00. You can find them online.
Wow! Great Job!
Best Model in the interner... i want it... sell it to me 🤤
My only complaint it is it doesn’t make the classic sound effect of it traveling! Otherwise, it’s a beautiful model! I can’t wait to get mine.
I was REALLY annoyed with MM. When I pushed my Kit's lever it disappeared! And never came back! Very effective sales ploy on MM! 🙃🙃
Alan, in light of the current group build with Sprueverse, Lou, and Wayne, do you have any WIP built logs to view. Static or video? I would very much like to see how you went about your motorization. It seems quieter and smoother. I also have this MM kit. The other branded basic one, does seem to be a slight upgrade on ours. LOTS of casting fixes needed on mine. Cherrs! Great job! 👍
FANTASTIC! Obviously an understatement. I have plans to build this Masterpiece model myself. You have inspired me.
Would it be possible to get a list of parts that you have added to this model?
I wonder if he is still alive. Says 11 years ago he posted this; his hands look like he was older then.
Yes, all new electronics.
So did you use their upgrade kit or did you do it yourself? Awesome work
I would gladly pay you for the upgrade kit and instructions. Your is so much more realistic.
Muy interesante, algun dia podra ser posible,EL VIAJE EN EL TIEMPO
"Came out pretty darn good" is an understatement sir, fantastic!
I had been looking at this model but seen some complaints about the quality of casting especially the chair parts also its rather expensive at $180 plus $350!!!! for the upgrade kit to make it work!
Did you modify the upgrade kit or do the 'working' parts yourself, would love to know how you modified it.
Again beautiful and brilliant job sir.
How in the world did you get the control panel mechanism to work? The way the two potentiometers are physically configured are still a mystery since the drawings & instructions are so darn confusing. Did you come up with your own method? If so, I'd LOVE to hear it so I can finish this dog. Thanks.
Your build is phenomenal! I just received my kit from Masterpiece. I would enjoy motorizing mine like yours. Please post any links to where you found the motor and gears to do so. Also, perhaps, you could give us a tutorial on you your genius. Hope you will respond. Thanks
Yes, I agree...
@V081WLBlue
I have some build pictures on photobucket at:
Email me at ahask12345@aol.com for a photobucket link.
The casting quality varies. My kit had/has small holes on the dish rivet detail. My friends did not have this defect. Over all, I was happy with the parts. The chair parts were near perfect.
I did not use the mechanical parts in the kit. I bought gears and bearings and a ESC and designed all of the drive parts myself. Thanks for your interest.
Alan
@Jeff Where do you want to go. The Greeks, the Romans, or one of the Pharaoh.
Hello I think that looks great! I am making one like this now and wonder how you made your dish spin and also what kind of switch you use for the time control lever to control the lights and speed of the dish please...
Here are some build photos. Hope this helps

Gonna tie lightening generator and lightening engine to feed each other ...
IS IT ADJUSTABLE FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ?
Great job!!! Magnifique! Wonderful! Do You sell it? To me? 😜😜😜😜 A really phan-tas-tic artwork, like the famous movie! Best regards from Berlin!
Sorry, not for sale, Try eBay for built up models,
Alan, that is really unexpected and great, that you answered, and such quick! I found it just by the side when I click the movie soundtrack of this inspiring movie. Didn't know, that such things exist. Thanks a lot for your hint, I will try! Really best regards from Berlin, Germany, to both of You!
The only state I know in the US is Nevada - I like Las Vegas and I'm a regular guest in this also fantastic town. Jorg (real name)
Fabulous! Do you or anyone sell completed models?
How much would you sell it for.
Sorry, not for sale.
Is there a full scale , the one Rod Taylor used in the movie on displayed anywhere?
This 1/6 scale model is pretty dynomite lookin. is there plastic model kit, say about 1/25scale available?
Okay ... I got the lightening engine running .
Okay .. I got the lightening generator running.
Okay ... Leyden jars are collecting.
Okay ... batteries are charged .
If you think I’m gonna sit between the two , your nuts ...
Three possibilities.
1 time travel happens .
2 , teleportation happens ..
3 , electric chair execution ...
The lightening engine power is contained .
The lightening generator is contained .
Gonna use accelerometer at same time on both engine and generator at same time , increasing both powers at same time ..
Got a Cigar?
Would you ever make another to sell at all?
I'd be interested if ya did.
I don’t understand.
If the disk isn’t creating the power ?
You use power to turn the disk .
But it’s the other way around ...
The disk creates the drive .
Sorry, not for sale
chair is in velour not leather

I'm assuming that you either jettisoned the Masterpiece Models so-called upgrade kit (an incredible rip off - it DOESN"T WORK AT ALL!) and installed your own electronics. Thanks for the photo of the potentiometer set up inside the control panel. I'm sorry I've wasted so much time & money on this kit. Your version is so much better AND simplier.
Very nice job considering the poor quality of the kit & the instructions. Some parts are missing or different, instructions & drawings are unclear, inaccurate or incomplete (I had to write to the company to get a complete set - the ones they send via download are missing the last 20 pages or so). Purchase at your peril! This 'review in reference the lighted kit).
would you be interesting in selling it?
Thank you!
nothing is gold on chaire in movie (watch more movie)

Why not build a real one ?
Are you stupid?
