Building a turn table for painting

Has anyoen built a turn table for use for painting? More or less something like a lazysusan(SP) Silly name I know. Just wondering if anyone has tackled this as a small project, since I am looking to build a big size one for holding my ERTL Falcon so I can paint it with a minimum of a fuss.

I am noticing... might have to get the one being sold by Paragrafix. Now building without using a knife, that would be an interesting challenge.

Good thing it was all just for testing. So I guess I need to pick up more so I can try again. 3 3v LEDs should be fine or should I get more?

Difference between a board and lighting bread board?

You can throw this in the silly question pile, but is there a difference? If you want to do straight lighting with nothing fancy; could you just attach the LED's to a bread board and connect to battery pack? Or is it necessary to use a circuit board?

Seems like the whole model is too thick, even after one coat. This is of course being sprayed straight from the can.

Dremel 100

Is anyone using a Dremel 100 for any aspect of their build? I have a chance to pick one up, but if it is pointless to have, no sense in getting it.
