I Built the Guillotine model from polar Lights when I Put the blade Rollers in the housing blade I had too glue tham in and complete blade housing still works and I painted the inside of the posts the blade still dropped down too cut the head of the victim and I no the model Guillotine is a very gruesome model to Build But at the end of the day the Guillotine is a part of history but I enjoyed Building the Guillotine and I might give the victim a name
and I had the same problem with the blade release, and with a little thought I found that reversing the release got it working just fine. So instead of the long side supporting the blade, I flipped it, and drilled a hole for the string on the side intended to support the blade assembly. This put the short side of the release lever on the side with the catch, and when you pull down, the release pops out from under the catch, and the blade falls.
Thanks Brian. I was wondering why yours came off so easy. I thought maybe your kit wasn't warped. Didn't think that the old ones may not have had magnets. If i had known they were too strong i would have replaced them with less "magnetically attractive" ones. :)
I bought one of these kits when I was a kid - around 1969. It was made then by a company called Aurora, which I think was Canadian. Quite expensive, too, 15/6 in old money. 77p now. Great fun, even though my folks told me I was sick!
Thanks pete. Yeah i did try adding a weight to the top of it but it didn't make a difference. I've had the flu for a month, slowly getting back on track....grrrr.
yep i did try adding weight later on top of them but it didn't make a difference. I think because it's warped there is still some variable friction in there.
Think I'll get this for my wife for Christmas, she loves the French Revolution, especially The Terror. The figure is pretty basic, so he could be made to look vaguely like Max or Saint-Just yes?
Oh. Thanks! I just wanted to know if it absolutely needed glue. You know. Tryin to save money and all. Also i like youre nosferatu kit. Very nice. I also like the blood pattern on the blade of the guillotine. Ill probably use that myself. Great videos!
It would be better if you could familiarize yourself with the name of the components if you’re going to talk about it. Also when I built this kid I found that adding some 18BB size shot lead shot fishing weights to the inside cavity of the of the mouton or the blade give enough weight to function but you have to pack any buddy buddy.
Yippiii I had one when I was a little girl :) I did many 100s of models so hardly any noticed this cruel thing hihihi I gotta buy a new!
It's cool that they used magnets in the head. That was the easiest part to lose when we were kids.
LOL...yep. Would you believe that at the time these were popular with the kids as toys and women wore necklaces with guillotine pendants.
I Built the Guillotine model
from polar Lights when I
Put the blade Rollers in
the housing blade I had too
glue tham in and complete
blade housing still works
and I painted the inside of
the posts the blade still dropped down too cut the head of the victim
and I no the model Guillotine is a very gruesome
model to Build But at the end of the day the Guillotine
is a part of history but I enjoyed Building the Guillotine and I might give
the victim a name
I weighed down the head with a little modeling clay before putting it together and added weight to the blade with a few steel bb's and it works great
and I had the same problem with the blade release, and with a little thought I found that reversing the release got it working just fine. So instead of the long side supporting the blade, I flipped it, and drilled a hole for the string on the side intended to support the blade assembly. This put the short side of the release lever on the side with the catch, and when you pull down, the release pops out from under the catch, and the blade falls.
Thanks. Yep these old kits are fun and it's very easy. The only seams to contend with are the figure.
Thanks Brian. I was wondering why yours came off so easy. I thought maybe your kit wasn't warped. Didn't think that the old ones may not have had magnets. If i had known they were too strong i would have replaced them with less "magnetically attractive" ones. :)
Try putting beebees in the blade casing to give it more weight.
Good idea. Of course im not gonna crack it open now.
@@xrlent12 I have built the same model, and with mine there was a little hole at the top blade case, where I was able to drop in the beebees.
@@Mike-im5bo interesting. I have it packed at the moment so i cany check it out. But i will try to remember it for the future.
Great job!!
I got my model Gillotine from
amizzon
Thanks Chris. It was fun. Time to get onto some real projects. eh? none of this quick build stuff.

Seggy234 haha. Yeah Aurora kits are alot of fun. Thanks for watching.
Canadian????? Try Long Island NY USA
I got one around this time as well. Bought from Capital Models in Edinburgh and it was not cheap!!
LOL yep....those buggers. War Machine should be complete by the end of the week but i will post vids of it soon.
Thanks pete. Yeah i did try adding a weight to the top of it but it didn't make a difference. I've had the flu for a month, slowly getting back on track....grrrr.

Yeah the figure is very basic and can be sculpted a little
haha yeah it did look awesome in your video. So how many takes.....lol.
Want to use this in diorama with my 1/13 aurora monster scenes kits. Is this 1/12 - 1/13 scale? Thanks
Im pretty sure its 1/12 but not 100% certain. I dont think it says the scale anywhere.
Don't ya hate those bloody magnetics lol, pretty cool man kutgw, look forward to seeing war machine. Have a good one mate
A nice little model.. maybe you could put some weight on the blade block if you what it to work better.. hope the man-flu don't last to long... Pete..
Make the blade heavier..
Do these need glue? Or is it snap kit? Nice painting though.
I think they are snap if I remember correctly i'd recommend using glue though.
Oh. Thanks! I just wanted to know if it absolutely needed glue. You know. Tryin to save money and all. Also i like youre nosferatu kit. Very nice. I also like the blood pattern on the blade of the guillotine. Ill probably use that myself. Great videos!
Poor Sophie scholl executed by one of these she was a true hero
Emilia Baker not this. This is the French model. The one she was executed with was the "fellbai". An all steel guillotine and an even heavier blade.
Thanks bud
Where I can buy this online? Look interesting.
If its still available hood hobby shops may still have it. Hobbylinc.com or tower hobbies may still have it or ebay.
xrlent12 thank you. I will check now. Hope still available.
too bad you didnt know it wouldn't chop you could have added some weight to the inside of the blade pieces
did you use nails?
+aboy 48 Nails? for what? not sure what you mean.
for the guillotine
+aboy 48 nope i used glue......im missing the joke.
no i didn't get it I need a requirements for it but thx for tellin me so nicly:)
