A Ferris wheel sheltered under its arch, turning to music.
A Ferris wheel with gondolas, set beneath a large openwork wooden arch, on a base that hides a music box. The arch gives it a one-of-a-kind silhouette: it looks like the entrance to an old-time fairground.
A wooden mechanical model kit under its arch
You start with the base, then the wheel and its gondolas, and finally the openwork arch that crowns it all. The cutouts in the arch let the room's light through and cast pretty shadows on the wall. Once it's built, you wind up the music box and the scene comes to life.
Who is it for? For anyone who wants a Ferris wheel unlike the others. For a decorative gift with real presence.
Dimensions once built: 20 × 14.5 cm footprint, 28.5 cm tall.

Your questions about the Musical Ferris Wheel Under the Arch
Your questions about this kit
How does the music work?
The music box is hidden in the base. You wind it by hand, the melody starts and plays along as the wheel turns. No batteries needed.
Do I need glue?
Regular wood glue (not included) is all you need: one drop keeps the smallest parts, like the gondolas, firmly in place.
Where should I put it?
On a shelf or a sideboard, at eye level: the openwork arch looks its best from the front.
