yeah he found out the kid was his lol the documentary was a good insight on not just the showmen but on how they really do rely on the gaff lads, and if not for the gaff lads they would not have a business.

hi everyone hello from sunny scotland anyway ive uploaded a video on to you tube called gaff lads. its a documentary on the life of a gaff lad travelling with the fair in the u.k. ive had break up the video in to clips first 3 now on and will have the last clip uploaded tomorrow. http://uk.youtube.c...

I would love to have done this model show but other commitments meant i had to miss it this year, and in all honesty its a good 300 miles from my home to the show.

The biggest funfair model show in the u.k took place on saturday in long eaton. Held in the town hall i have uploaded photos of the event on my funfair model site. as it was the shows 10th anniversary the theme was waltzers with over 50 model waltzers in one room and the awesome giant wild mouse coa...

we have on of those rides here in the u.k, although its owned and based in ireland, it attends a lot of the big fairs in the u.k such as leeds.

thanks top gunner, in all ive got most of the faller models and 2 waltzers (1/24th) and a speedway (1/24th).

these images are fantastic, i like you love the space-roller we have only 1 here in the u.k by james mellor.

i appologise if this has been covered before but i was wondering off the top of your head how many films you can think off that have fairground rides in them. for me 2 come to mind first one is superman returns where the faller model lay-out was used and 2nd is supergirl where she is on a waltzer th...

i was wondering if anyone here uses bebo at all ?
mines is www.bebo.com/rock_star_waltzer

this ride is good i was on it at tilburg and its very dissoriontating, your not to sure where you are at times bit like the space roller, i believe another 4 have been put on order with 1 coming to the u.k

no videos of it operating yet, as am in scotland and hes in england its difficult to get to his to video it as i would like to video the complete uild up of the waltzer and also running.

a very good friend of mine decided a while back to build a 1/16th scale waltzer which is bigger than mine, infact its that big it build up and pulls down like the real waltzer. ive put a short video on you tube to show how it was built from scratch and is all hand painted. http://www.youtube.com/wat...

i wa having a look through you tube vids and seen this one from a guy in the u.k who has now built every faller fairground model available. he also makes some modifications to them and hussrainbow i think you will like this one if you not already seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu0cTfumbMM

we have a giant music festival in scotland called T-IN THE-PARK and attracts 100,000 revellers over a 3 day period. the fair that attends is quite big with rides like the power surge, giant wheel, dodgems, bomber mark2, adrenalin street fighter, waltzer. http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee348/trev...

i believe your speed is a kmg yes ive attached a photo of bomber details

sorry top gunner will try again. the bomber mark 2 is one of those rides where in all honesty i was petrified to go on it. the sheer height and speed it was going at a thought NO WAY but after watching it for about an hour building up the courage, i seen this boy about 12 years old getting off the r...

hi everyone thank you so much for all your comments i do appreciate it, i believe their was a waltzer years ago in australia and it was a u.k showman david taylor who brought it over. I have nothing against tilt a whirls as they have the same job to do as a waltzer simply cars on a platform that spi...
