Very clever!

Is the really long drop photoshop, is that very, VERY thick oil?


Did you think of trying something a bung sitting to one side, and oil flowing out into a catch tray?

No photoshop, Its used oil from my Bug/Beetle, but I diluted it down with some clean stuff.
The old used oil was opaque black.
I got oil all over my Wacom pen rubbery bits.:evil:
What the HEY! HO! is bung, like a plug?I
I had it drip into my old stainless 16x24 inch printing tray.

Bettle oil must be pretty good stuff then :lol:

The bung is the short bolt you take out of the bettle to let the oil out, plug would be another way to desribe it :)

Normally when you do an oil change you remove the bung, and drain the oil into a catch tray, or can of some describtion .

The idea would be to rig something up so it looks you are draining the oil out of the globe, and have a cap in the top to put new stuff back in :cool:

Hey Moppie,
I thought bungs were on the base of the transom on the stern of the vessel.
Beetle juice is removed by pulling the drain plug.
The globe is about 75mm, 3 inches in diameter, so I would have to shrink my hand.
I get what you mean tho.
Ill leave that idea to you.
If we take all the oil out of the earth, wont the earths gears overheat? :shock:

That is a very small globe, no wonder the drop looks so big.


Might have to try something with a larger scale model.
