Joe, i am going to use a chain, sprocket and geared motor. I made the ring and i plan to have the chain tacked welded to the ring. I have a machinest that will make the retainters for the ring to ride on. Thats the current plan. I would like to use the worm gear method like on the real one, but haven't quit figured out to make that work. It would lok more scale than the idea that in my head at the moment.

That's the best way I could figure to do it too. An intertooth gear is very costly for no more than your getting.What size chain are you going to use? I have some stainless 1/8 '' pitch chain that would allow room for the circle shoes to mount.
