A small motor, threaded rod, maybe a 3D printed gear (or jaycar should have something) and a simple frame would work, or go a cable setup and then you could use it on different heights too. Bonus points for a raspberry pie, and a sensor setup keyed for floors so you don’t have to manually turn on and off.

I say do the elevator, but it has to go "Ding!" when it reaches a floor and the doors open. Also- if you use the sprues from all your kits for some hardcore plastic carpentry material, you can increase your square footage by half. Plus it's all so much stronger, angles and joints. Nice work here.

Still got the book on my shelf! Probably the single most influential thing on my hobbying. I modelled my tau after the scheme in the book since I hadn't seen it before (only for GW to make their new Tau in the new scheme lol) and bought a small force of Vostroyans to go with them right before they went out of print.
