Meccano was what sprung to mind when I saw your original design, but I guess it might be too bulky.

Hopefully the spokes aren't too springy/snap when you bend them.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out

Bike spokes will bend a surprisingly long way before they snap. (source, have taco'd a few bike wheels in my time but only ever had spokes snap at the mounting points at each end where they're under maximum stress...)

Looking forward to this tensegrity setup come together!

Got the base construction done, but balancing the whole thing is proving kind of fiddly... ::)

Still; nothing to it but to plow on I guess.

The wire used is not the one I will use in the final product though. I am looking for the toughest, thinnest metal wire right now, because I got this completely idiotic notion that the carved magical circle I envisioned has to actually glow...

So there'll be LEDs under the stone work  of the circle and the switch and powepack will be on the base: the power will run through the tethers. Let's hope it'll be feasible, as right now, I can't even seem to properly balance the bare framework   :D

That will be well cool if you can get the balance right.

Good Luck, that sounds like a nightmare to get right, but if you pull it off it'll be legendary

I think you should use that Covid Test in your build and show it who is boss often thought they would make good windows. Get well soon.

Not being ambitious at all, are we?
Here's hoping you'l pull it off, 'cause that'll look epic.

A bit worried I might get bug-zapped if you let the power for the lighting flow through the suspension wires?
You're not gonna isolate them and risk someone in a reflex slapping your enitre build across the room?

Well, I think it's time to admit that I'm not feeling this one at all.

I've not had any concrete hobby time for weeks, have been hit a bit hard by Flurona (a combination of the flu and COVID, if you're wondering about that) so I've generally been too busy, sick and tired to get anything done.

And now that it looks like I will finally get to spend some time doing fun stuff again, I think I'd rather spend that time on stuff I really feel like doing.

So I'm throwing in the towel. Again.

The tensegrity idea will percolate some more, but I do want to eventually make it work. Until that time, I will 'just' be painting more minis...

Sorry to hear it.  The concept was spectacular.
