Top effort, John and it looks great! Even the "(mis)alignment) is reminiscent of some museum displays that I have seen..! A very novel idea, well-executed and an inspiration for other builders...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

It is a brilliant model John, well done, I'm sure that if you wish to you will rework this to your original idea eventually without the clock ticking away in the background. but even left as it is it looks just great.

Excellent work John, especially as you did not have the real museum piece to draw inspiration from. Here's looking forward to "Museum Displays 2".
