OK, all done and off to its new home. We didn't bother getting the lunar orbit inclination right, nor the eclipse indicator - but the rest is pretty close:-
1. correct orientation of Earth's axis relative to the date indicator
2. correct location of the Moon relative to the date indicator
3. synchronisation with the year counter with the date indicator

A couple of bits of "blu-tac" - one to hold the "decorative" knob on top of the Earth to stop the whole thing unwinding. One to hold the Moon on its support shaft. (The Moon is the easiest bit to lose I reckon.)

The owner is happy!
