MOC - Merry-go-round

[colmoore]

Hi all,

Pictures of my favourite creation - a Merry-go-round. The ride features 8 different types of vehicle - a train, a tractor, a rocket ship, a dinghy, a fire engine, a quad bike, a car & a horse. I have included 6 minifigures - a ride operator, a boy purchasing a ticket, mum & dad figures (with dad taking the picture) & two children on the ride. The kiosk features a till & a lever to operate the ride (which must be turned by hand of course!)

I have sent off for the bricks to build it

This is a cute design. It looks nice with different models of vehicles. Enjoy the brick-building it.

nice work there, i like it (:

i have been long thinking of making a proper lego theme park moc, and you may have just fueled my inspiration.

[colmoore]

Thanks coffeeandcake. Interesting you should also like theme park-type models. I think a funfair could be a LEGO theme. Obviously coasters would be very difficult but there are so many other rides that would make for a lovely little collection. I already have lots of ideas for my next few projects ;)

i agree, i think it would be an amazing theme. the nice thing about the idea is that it also allows to combine already-existing themes (town, pirates, castle, space) together as theming. one can hope.... (:

i am really looking forward to seeing your next projects (:

This is even cuter in real bricks! The little green tractor and red train are my favourites, but they are all cute.

I imagine kids (big and small) would love to play with this.

[eurotrash]

Excellant! It looks so much better in real bricks. Have you thought about raising the base and using PF to motorize it?

[NPimenta]

very cute!

congrats

Reminds me of the one we have at our local fair. When I was little, I would ride for hours for five bucks.

[dvsntt]

That is a gret model. I happen to really love amusement park rides, and would love to see this on Cuusoo so I cna support it.

[colmoore]

Thanks for the praise everyone. I have thought about motorizing it, and possibly adding a canopy, although decided against that as I think it would cover up much of the hard work I put into the mini builds. Any more developments I will post on this thread.

Simply and beautiful!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

This is an original idea very well realized!

This could be an official Lego set!

[colmoore]

Thanks mate. I have submitted it to cuusoo but so far haven't received a huge amount of support. Who knows one day I might get there.
