Summary
The Turntable (GUOS65116) is an item from the comeback era of the Gothic Universe of Shapes series. It was created on the 3rd, 4th, and 19th May 2018 using Faber Castell Watercolour Pencils, Lead Pencils, and Felt Pens, Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Excel 2010, and Paint 3-D.

It was not created using auto-shapes, being drawn and edited outside Microsoft Excel, except for some outlines and shadow effects. The Turntable is the first shape to be completed using Microsoft Excel 2010, instead of Microsoft Excel 2007, and the first shape to be drawn and edited outside Microsoft Excel, without using any tricks from Adobe Photoshop CS4.

The Turntable was also the first shape to use textures from Paint 3-D, although the textures were transparent to the point where they couldn't be identified. I copied a 3-D sphere with the polished metal texture and coloured jet-black, saved it as a PNG, and extracted it to Microsoft Excel 2010 to use as part of the Turntable.

Being completed in Microsoft Excel 2010 meant that I could use tools that were absent in Microsoft Excel 2007, such as changing the colour tone of the shape, and applying a glad wrap texture effect. This was the first time I used Microsoft Excel to apply a glad wrap texture effect, since I no longer had access to Adobe Photoshop CS4, and thus I couldn't use it to apply a glad wrap texture effect.
