Martin Raynsford has cut some more parts for me after a significant re-think of the Enigma design. Instead of the "tombstone" shaped parts from last time, I've changed the design to use a set of 16 hexagonal parts all mounted on a set of three steel threaded rods.
The assembly is a bit hard to describe so I'll just use some pictures instead.
For the time being, I'm keeping the perspex's protective film in place so the final product has a fighting chance of looking smart and presentable.

Nylon machine screws are the future by the way. Go and buy some and see for yourself.
Nice! I totally agree about the nylon hardware. Love the stuff. Great for weight savings.
