Not even close to being done but posting it anyways, HAHA![:D] Look close so far..?

I put the Ferris Wheel in front of it to give it some scale and yes, it is non-static.[:D]

Looks good so far, except comparing it to the wheel, it is shorter than the real one would be. Ours is around 130' tall.

Thanks guys![:D] Ben, those are long wood dowels I found in the craft section at the dollar store, matchsticks and toothpicks. Ted, my scale is around 1:48. I really liked the theme too, after I saw pics of the Minnesota State Fair this year I just HAD to re-create it, looked soooo cool! I don't think it's too far off height-wise, here's a few side by side shots for a better perspective.

Set four quarts watches into it and you can use it as a clock.

I guess it's not too far off. In HO scale, the model would be about 17-1/4" tall. I don't know what scale yours is, Kenny. But hey, it looks great, the detail is fantastic. I always thought a working clock on top would be a nice touch on the real one, on the model it would too, IMHO.
