Development in Sketchup

Top detail is sorted, a mix of valves and other electrical bit which I have. A bit of copper pipe will go around the front probably with a pressure gauge if I can find one. The right hand side of the case will have the large Ferranti voltmeter from the antique fair and a fuse compartment door which I salvaged from a skip.  The wooden panels on the top will be three hardwood drawer fronts which where another skip find. Power feeds to the fuse box (non functional) will be with bare wire fed over two porcelain insulators which came from my great uncle's junk collection. The box with mesh on the top of the case is a vent from a 120mm PC cooling fan, the box will be given high voltage warnings and possible an electric arcing effect behind the mesh. Behind the brass mesh at the bottom there will be flickering flame effect lights.

Just the front panel to design now then I can start building.
