Carousel for Flea Circus

I'm in the process of building a flea circus, and I wanted to make a nice carousel for my fleas to pull. I turned to Patricia’s Agence Eureka pages again, and chose this nice Danish model. I modified the images a bit by doubling things up so there wouldn't be any plain paper showing, and had the resulting file printed on 11X17 cardstock at FedEx/Kinko's.

I added some rhinestones so that when it spun, it would catch the light.

It spins on a bearing made from a knitting needle and a brass lamp finial cap.

I built two, because the first one had the flags flying so it made sense to spin it clockwise, but I glued all the animals and riders in widdershins. Also, the bearing on the first one wasn't very good, and it didn't spin well.

Very nice carousel. The video was entertaining.
Here is a place with another carousel.

Scroll down the page a bit to get to the download.
I built it many years ago. There is a mechanism that makes the horses go up and down.
