On the puppet size chair does anyone know if the back pattern was chizzeld or did they use cloth i used cloth on this one its my prototype

I believe it's quilted vinyl on the original. It was popular for a while as an interior trim material for cars.

Ive often wondered what it was they used, the interior of Stingray is full of the stuff, I thought it looked like mesh that had had a mould poured on it.

really nice chair build there btw

btw I think the 2 chrome pieces on the front are grills from a revell custom car parts pack?
the white dial on the rear is a egg timer?
always wondered what the long chrome switch on the side with the red handle was from?

cheers
Mike

The long switch with the red handle looks actually like a long levered toggle switch.

I remember seeing some similar a while ago with black handles.

the very ends of the main silver controls look to be revell wheel rims also

Could the long toggle switch be the same as those used in stingray ? If so , could they be from that childrens car dashboard that they used ?

Checking with photos, I think most of those controls have come from the Stingray set.

definatley the same toggle switch from Stingray, although not sure that it is from the toy dashboard
