Bejon A. Boranian Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Fan parts: 💡💡 (Most) of these are pre-built scale modular components from retired kits/ retro theme mini fans. Only available overseas, these will serve as valuable research for scale fan building. From memory: 1/4 and 1/3 scale parts/ components shown. Brand or type: TOSHIBA (base, shell) Micom (Micro-computer) Tatami adjustable pedestal fan parts... Pink lamp option applicable fan base. Pink cages for optional color match. Pink blade.
