Wooden Mechanical Model - Ferris Wheel, age 14+ SHRINKWRAPPED
€109.99
Jiminy
Ever wanted your own Ferris wheel? Here is your chance!
Using the precisely pre-cut pieces, it's time to test your engineering skills and build one!
It's not just a model, it work! Turn the key to wind-up the rubber band motor.
But that's not all...the pattern-adorned stand hides a mini treasure chest!
What it contains430 parts on 11 ply sheets, 39 spare parts, rubber bands, axles (large and small), ruler (for checking dimensions) and thread.
You will need: a razor blade, scissors, sandpaper and a wax candle. No need for glue or paint (but you can paint it, if you want to!).
Size of assembled model: 22cm x 26cm x 32cm.
How to use it: Very carefully push out the pieces from the front side of the board, taking care not to break them. If the piece does not come out, gently cut any notches with the razor blade. To reduce friction, use the candle to wax the gear face and axle rotation areas. Assemble in a well-lit area, and follow the instructions carefully. You can also disassemble this model in reverse order.

Improvements we're working on in this product: We wish it wasn't shrink-wrapped, but we understand why (dirt / fingerprints / marks on the box would take a lot away from the gift, and as a % of the materials used by weight the shrinkwrap is small). So I guess what we wish is, that the shrink-wrap was made from plants...maybe the future holds this!
