CatColorado Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I remember seeing a teeny tiny carousel in the cake decorating aisle at Hobby Lobby. The next time I'm there, I'll check the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hi Nutti, I haven't seen any 1/144th scale carosels but I do have a 1:87 scale carosel kit - it's HO scale made by IHC (International Hobby Corp) That's probably not any help to you but maybe they make a smaller version <?> Here's a link to an ebay auction out of the UK for the kit I have, so you can see what it looks like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5981276281&rd=1 -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molmrath Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 How about this, Nutti? http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/348-5411 It's not exactly 1/144 scale, but it's N scale, which is close... They have a bunch of other carnival type stuff in N scale listed there too, but a lot of them don't have pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molmrath Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 It isn't about carousels (or dollhouse minis), but this site is pretty cool. You all might find it interesting. It shows the work of a different kind of miniaturist... http://www.rollercoastermodels.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless1 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Oh my, Molmrath. As Jimmy Carter once said, I lust in my heart. If it's miniature, it's irresistable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Cal Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Go with the 1/160 N Gauge train items in this case. Why reinvent the wheel. The kits are probably quite complex with many moving parts and possibly even motorized.....It is just a slightly smaller carousel next mini project build a proper carousel house around it add lights all around it and an electronic calliope to go with it Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Cal Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 In this case 1/160 scale is just fine. 160th vs 144th is a matter of 10% smaller than what you want just like Military modellers have done for years often mixing 1/32 scale with 1/35 scale there the diff is about the sam Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Wowie! It looks like a ride I pass every day when I go past Great America Theme park! If it weren't for the picture of him holding it, I would have thought it was real! Too Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
