My name is Colin Redpath from ROMFORD, ESSEX, ENGLAND. My hobby is model circus building. |
I have a model of an american three ring circus 1:50 scale with sixteen working acts. |
THE AMERICAN MODEL CIRCUS WAS STARTED IN 1986. BASED ON REAL LIFE SHOWS, IT HAS 16 WORKING ACTS INCLUDING AN ELEPHANT BEING HOSED DOWN. IN AND AROUND THE BIG-TOP THERE ARE NEARLY 600 HAND PAINTED FIGURES AND CIRCUS ARTIST(S) ENJOYING THE THRILLS OF THE BIG-TOP, WITH THREE RINGS OF ENTERTAINMENT. THERE ARE OVER 300 LIGHTS IN THE BIG-TOP AND ON THE SHOW FRONT WAGONS AND CANOPY. THE WORKING ACTS ARE CONTROLLED IN SEQUENCE. THERE ARE BETWEEN 70 TO 80 TRUCKS, TRAILERS AND LIVING WAGONS ON THE SHOW. MOST BE CUSTOMIZED FROM NORMAL MODELS TO CIRCUS USE. THERE ARE OVER 100 ANIMALS TRAVELING WITH THE SHOW. THE OVERAL SIZE OF THE MODEL IS 14 FT LONG BY 6 FT WIDE. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 HOURS TO SET UP. THE MUSIC AND ANIMAL EFFECTS ARE TAKEN FROM REAL SHOWS TO GIVE IT THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE. |
