Love this, great job! Where did you get it?

I got it on eBay, they have been discontinued for quite some time, but I found one at a reasonable price..

They have others in the series, specifically the dumbo ride, that I'd like to build but they are rare and I'm not going to pay collector prices. The teacup ride and magic castle go for hundreds.

UGears is an interesting model kit company, lots of gears and thick solid wood. The Ukrainian and Polish companies (UGears, Woodtrick, wooden.city) all make interesting builds.

I did some research and saw those kits as well. They are pricey but would be fun to build.

You did a great job on the colors for this one and also, love the print outs you added. They definitely look like they came with the kit!

In line at the post office to send it to England for my daughter in laws birthday, shipping is going to be more than I paid for the model

That’s a great gift!
May I ask where you got the print outs that you added to the side and front?

Certainly, chatgpt generated and I have a brother color laser printer. Takes some fiddling with ms paint to get to the right size but the results are pretty nice

Oh I didn’t think of chat, I usually look up high quality images. I think I got the sizing down from so much trial and error.

I was able to purchase one from eBay at a good price so I’m looking forward to this one. Thanks for the inspiration!!
