Model Fairground Waltzers - Construction Instructions

[Fanriffic]

After looking at this YouTube Video showcasing Model Waltzers at 1/24th scale, I thought I would try and build one myself as a wee hobby that I can get stuck into during the summer.

But there seems to be only one website that gives you the plans to build the model to scale and you have to pay for them. (Doug Roseaman)

Surely there must be some amateur model builders that can give you these plans for free as the Waltzers are basically built the same way except for the number of spinning cars - some have 9, some 10. I've hit a wall on the old internet search.

Any suggestions on how to obtain free plans to get me started or point me in the right direction?
TIA.

Can't help with the question but do wonder what the plan price is. If spending time & money on a hobby anyway, is the asking price such a barrier ?

The plans are £37. You're absolutely right Old_Geezer - I may just get them if I can't find other alternatives online.
The total costs of building the model including the plans, materials, lights and sequencer control unit can run to about £2000 to £3000 depending on your quality standards.
It would take me about 1 year to build this at my leisure.
Still only thinking about the project at this moment in time. Thanks.

Fanriffic the models shown here are accessories for 00 scale model railways.

However they do come with all the pieces and plans to build one!
You could use the plans then scale up the parts provided (and bobs your uncle) Hope this helps

Good thinking twofeathers - it certainly gives me more options to think about.

I may now just postpone my hobby until next year as I've now got too much other stuff to keep me occupied at the moment. Thanks anyway.
